Countryside Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Countryside

Monday,13th August 2018

I love the countryside
and decide
to go along the poor people
and side with their struggle

I never compromise
and promise
that I shall protect
not only the environment but my personal acts too

The country alone can raise my head
and the message is well read
how many people were turned dead?
before the freedom concept was spread

no, why should we bother about the unrest?
that has swept
the neighboring countries
and increased the poverty and misery

from north to south and from the east to west
we are facing the worst
let us not weaken our resolve
and solve amicably if that affects the nation
