Denied Access Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Denied access
Thursday,25th April 2019

Right man always thinks right
it shall not be his aim to fight
over the cast, creed, and religion
in any of the regions

he will dream for open borders
to allay the fears
firmly seated in the minds
but never find the solution

since the religion occupies the back seat
it has become a personal bat
for any individual to profess,
preach and practice with freedom of an access

why the do we need a barrier?
barricades or borders
to stop the flow of people
for going in search of bread with great struggle

We all know about the impact
when fanatics react
with guns and gruesome acts
this is a reality in fact

we may never want restrictions
but reality has changed the scenes
the countries are damned for the little excuses
the blockade is imposed and denied access
