In Your World Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

In your world
Sunday,18th April 2021

Consider conscience voice
and make a firm choice
give promise to self and act
let people take it unfavourably and react

don't meekly surrender
and utter
under duress
there shall be no shine on the face

people may try to subdue
and try to view
their opinion in your work
but use not their single word

you are master of your destiny
and surrender to only an almighty
he shall guide you to the shore
so feel no sore

feel pain
and express concern
for human beings
and try to bring some soothing words in poetry

this is what we must observe
and serve the literature
with our purity of mind
and find internal satisfaction
