For Pleasure Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

For pleasure
Saturday,8th May 2021

I worked very hard
not for praising words
but for the material gain
and maintained the spree

enough of wealth gathered
to be ushered
in happiness with all the luxuries
not to suffer from any miseries

everybody enjoyed in the family
but I forgot the name of an almighty
I wanted to purchase everything
and can bring mental happiness

my days changed along with an age
But I couldn't manage
with so much of wealth
the health completely deteriorated

Now, I realized the futility of luxury
and it compiled me to pray an almighty
I was leaving behind everything
not even for charity but only for the
family

I was feeling helpless
with darkness all around
I could find it not sound
when soul was leaving for new land
