Don't Show Off Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Don't show off
Tuesday,22nd October 2019

O, My dear!
Don't come near
I won't hear
a single word and bear the pain

you were the man
who acted inhumanly
cared for no one
and thought of none

Life was casual
and you acted like a selfish individual
we were nothing to you
and made us pass through an ordeal

even though I bore the brunt
it really burnt me from inside
Ii spelled no curse
but felt from inside of course

I bade farewell to life
and considered not as torn strife
but lamented being with you
this is absolutely true

I knew you will come to my grave
and behave to show as broke
but never break into tears
as you made me suffer all those years

Hasmukh Mehta
