I Wish Not To Die Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

I wish not to die
Sunday,15th March 2020

I wish not to die
and try
in that direction
for the self satisfaction

life is certain to cease
and release
the soul to different land
thus bringing an end

I wish to be among my brethren
and make this land as living heaven
with no hatred or ill-will
I want to kill all those sins

how much time it takes to control?
and respond to the soul's call
but it takes no time
to revert to old times

our mind fluctuates
and fails to regulate
what is termed as nobility
even though life is blessed by an almighty

we shall claim to have an improvement
but there are moments
when we feel we are the same
not proven and not guided to claim
