Hold The Faith Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Hold the faith
Friday,8th May 2020

Mosque, church or temple
it can heal the sentiments of people
if followed with good faith
and held it till death

the moment it develops disliking for others
it creates fears
among the people and surrounding
the use of words are really offending

why people should bother?
at your offerings in prayer!
it is simple word to utter
bow down and surrender

it is your belief
that provides you relief
prevents you from harming others
and forces to take recourse here

religions came later
culture and heritage remained here
with little leaning it mushroomed
but humanity got doomed

races and color
turned our souls sore
sentiments ran high
love and kindness turned dry

now it has only an academic use
everybody shall refuse
to budge from their stand
Even god has failed to understand
