If They Are Wise Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Panic for devaluation
Needs close look and evaluation
Economy is in bad shape
Whole leadership is flop

Rupee is falling
Distress is calling
Make no mistake
There is no retake

Poor may starve
No one may observe
Many more schemes will be launched
Five years rule may be silently searched

Oil prices are soaring
Home front is threatening
There may be heavy taxes
Poor may not be able to relax

It is reckless planning
Expenditure is increasing
There is no balance in export and import
Where else to go and report?

Leaders are for powers
Wants to live high rise towers
Amass wealth and disappear
We feel sorry and fear

Country may again be in distress
The shine may disappear from face
We may face acute shortage and price rise
People may survive if they are wise
