The Dark Descends On Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

The dark descends
Saturday,29th September 2018

Nothing goes well
and remains nothing to tell
when the head of the family expires
and leave behind no future

the dark descends
and sends
the threatening signals
for the survival

if he is the only earning member
the family may face starvation or hunger
the wife has to come out in search of some employment
and keep the children up with bold movement

Them time is a healing factor
it brings everybody together
it is their resolve to go ahead
and lead the life

no one dies after somebody's death
but takes on to collect some wealth
for them it is "do or die" struggle
come up with the new formula for survival
