A Need To Afford Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

I can’t afford to remain off the guard with endless wait
I follow simple path and go straight
All worldly desires don’t appeals to me and fall on deaf ears
As if everything has been drained out with the passing of years

I remained on guard and thought to work on right
Considered rivals as friends and decided not to fight
Nothing went right as per plan and it failed to deliver
I still remained defiant in belief and firm believer

Let others try anything and go high and dry
I shall always look forward and try
May be that things may not turn to spring surprise
Surely it may not cripple the wings when sun rise

Life is really adventurous
It may prove hard and tortuous
All colors may not remain permanent and fade away
Darkness will be all over with the arrival of bright day

See the goal through clear vision
Expected the blasts through chain of fusion
Greatness may lie not with efforts to ignite but to defuse
Not to vitiate it further in a manner to confuse

Senseless thinking is worst enemy of human being
It may lead to misery and colossal damage to bring
Nothing can help is to retrieve it later on
Battle may be lost even if it is won

You stand firm in your approach
You may need no expertise or coach
You can clearly think of positive result
It may bring laurels and no more insult

Patience is mother of all success and main key
It is necessary to grow and water the tree
How can you expect tree to offer you the fruits
If you neglect the care remove the roots

One has to stand firmly on the ground
In search of new horizons to be found
It may lead to frustration and result in loss of the ground
You may find it later when finished with complete round

You must gather the strength and exploit it later
You may come to be known as statesman and baiter
It may grant you big name in the race
You may be able to assert it with pride and show the face

There is no need to show the laxity on our part
You may have to face shaky beginning from the start
Many may make attempt to stall your move or thwart
It will be glorious end if you integrate and not apart
