Orphanage On The Face Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Orphanage on the face

Friday,20th July 2018

It is no strange
when you fail to manage
the crisis after mother's death
it is difficult for them to breath

whether it is with animals or birds
there is always the pathetic word
from the kittens or elder ones
the grief is shared by none

when mother bird dies
you can hear the cries
from all small ones
we have seen it often

the picture reveals
and makes one feel
about the sudden death
shaking their own faith

they don't want to allow the dead body
to be taken away by anybody
we can see the orphanage on their face
and it is with us too
