Call Motherland Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Call motherland
Tuesday,5th Oct 2021

What can be called a motherland?
the place you have born and
grew up as a child
or a place where you have found a safe place of kind

you might have origin elsewhere
but has left that place under fear
or gone somewhere
where you find a place to cater for family

you get an access
hospitality in excess
enough reason to bear a smile on the face
still, will you try to trace your origin?

live as if you are born here
place your honesty and dedication
die for the cause
and pose no question

if you want to go back to your original place
don't create a mess here
else you shall face a penalty
and forced to leave the country

if you are an emigree
just agree
don't flee
from your responsibility
