Respect Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Mark of respect

Women needed it as mark of respect
We all have to think seriously and introspect
When God has made it equal then why we should suspect?
Has everything got relevance with cast, creed, color or sect?

Yes, color do attract us for certain reasons
It is natural and varies from person to person
But is it the only criteria to hate an individual?
Still we have we to fight against dual role?

I salute to those who stand against such move?
They might be threatened with their live or removed
Yet the fight may go on till it ends
We, as an human beings, must change our trend

We are in land of peace and liberty
We are equally blessed with freedom from almighty
Why do we create hatred only on the basis of color?
This is not simple matter but serious and major

Some of the people may not speak openly against
But secretly bless and insist
The struggle rages on indefinitely
The people are brandished rebel and disappear quietly

It is suppression and blot on humanity
It is not even discouraged for its continuity
Enough of blood has been shed and still it remains
Let us do everything which is possible in our domain

Women are equal partners
They are good listeners
Are we not just intolerant?
We keep eyes closed and keep mind absent
