Just Keep Them Guessing Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

I was called upon to deliver lecture on morality
They had full confidence on my capability
They knew I will be well prepared to give justice
I was contacted for this purpose within short notice

It is easy to speak theoretically on any subject
As it has nothing to do practically so no one may object
It seems exercise in futility as it involves no punch
People may not hear it attentively and go for lunch

The so called intelligent people may share the views
It may use high standard of words to be understood by only few
Since it is meant to be used for mass consumption
Everything is spoken well prepared and in assumption

I am not the authority or well conversant of such subject
You will find quotes and unquote for and against to inject
It requires immense sense of skill to hold the audience
They have to be entertained with fine oratory and at variance

I was first hesitant to go for such important topic
It requires moral courage to be used with logic
It is not mere repeation of words already known
But presentation of deep study seemingly unknown

It has been know to all that this is just an eye wash
In normal life it may appear suddenly and vanish like flash
Such lectures don’t cut much ice and help to less extent
But some happiness is noticed with little movement

Every one wants to enjoy life but with difference
They try to gain from any source and draw the inference
The hidden thrust is so extensive that some need is felt
In some of the Seminars it is discussed at length and dwelt

It is not matter for open discussion but the facility to avail
The need arises only where some of the confusion prevails
A person with high stand of knowledge can put across
Some of the aspects with precision without any deviation or loss

Internally I was in great pain and anguish
Though I was confident to speak and finish
It did hurt my conscience only for one reason
I was not true to cause and the right person


It is absolutely wrong on your part to preach
Advocate such a thing where you have no reach
It is not simply a gospel teaching with authority
There you are a priest or monk and known celebrity

You have sizable community to follow
You may deny some existence and d don’t allow
The case is different with me as public figure
I must speak with authority and make it sure
