Know The Crowd Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Know the crowd
Friday,12th December 2019

Let us know the principal
it is applicable to all the individuals
how does the wild fire spread!
and mislead the people

Majority of the people fail to understand the sentiments
and present
different ideology to suit their liking
here they are striking wrong lines

why this mob lynching is taking place?
when it is known that religious sentiments are now craze
people take law in their hand
and bring end to precious lives

why should we resort to hurt the sentiments?
why should you carry the cows and slaughter?
why child lifters be allowed free hand?
the people are so furious that they end the life if caught

if everything goes smoothly
it is not objected by anybody
but if they fail to take the sign of wind
the disastrous result is for us to find

respect the people
do nothing that is illegal
if rapist goes "scot free"
the public outrage may take revenge and force to flee
