At Least Not Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

At least not
Wednesday,15th July 2020

I am veteran
an ex-serviceman
from Indian Air Force
I owe true allegiance so such a dedicated source

we are trained to fo for country first
then to go for personal interest
the country has given us a lot
even not deserved things we have got

Like me, there may be many soldiers
who might have become poets and writers
with me, it was a blessing to write as an ordinary poet
my pen shall never remain quiet

I am published poet with 2 gold medals
and have never gone dual role
I hold no income neither want to
some facts I have put here as true

I am leading a retired life
and have seen so much strife
I neither desire nor want to hold
or to be the owner of any site and that is out of the question

Hasmukh Mehta
