Not In Position To Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Not in position

Humanity cries everywhere
It is simple word used here
People raise slogans
And ask literary service for human beings

How fair are politicians?
How fair are we as civilians?
We want work done in quick time
We adopt shortest possible crime

We bribe for getting work done
Rich or influential man may get work done from any one
The poor and widows find the amount less
But the compromise brings sadness on face

It becomes apparent in life
When life becomes like an edge of knife
Everything turns hostile
When head of the family has died while waging struggle

We need not speak
The world knows and does not ask
It is explained in bitter manner
We are not in position to look after
