Not Better Placed Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Not better placed
Tuesday,9th June 2020

I always need his guidance
I consider life as chance
and it is precious gift from an almighty
with all the blessings and mercy

what would have been?
If I had been bird or animal!
this thought itself rattles me
and with struggle I find no answer

I never try to cheat my conscience
and always seek his presence
and follow holy spirit or essence
I wait for his sentence

even if I am not better placed
I don't race
for the material gain
but remain fully contended

life, to me, is simple drive
to survive
and revive
so long as he is merciful
