House Divided Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

House divided
Thursday,8th August 2019

Gap does exist
between the oldest and youngest
old generation always insist
and stand as protectorate moralists

they consider olden days
as an exemplary way
to protect and hold democratic values
and pay the real dues

new generation walk with change
the change with changing time and to manage
old principles loose shine
if they stand not defined from time to time

scrap no good principles
but stick to no ideals
that thwart the progress
and denies an access

people from one state must truely integrate
with the rest of the people and relate
or exchange their viewpoints
and maintain the harmony

the country belongs to all
so our views should stand as a wall
and cause for our fall
any effort in this direction must be stalled

Hasmukh Mehta
