Deep Scar Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Deep scar
Thursday,15th October 2020

He uttered something bad
about my mother
I was a student, and he was a teacher
it added fuel to fire and anger

I was not in a position to harm
but gave him enough of a warning
he was a little taken aback
he saw my furious face and packed off

this incidence took deep scar
It always reminded me of his sarcastic words
andburned with rage
I couldn't remove his name from my memory page

even today I look back and get enraged
he was so critical of our poverty
he tried to use mean words
but I had no regards for him

He has turned astute politician
and earned a good name
but I have always hated
and never got seated by his side
