Leave Aside Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Leave aside
Thursday,17th October 2019

If you have nothing to do here
remain active and keep no fears
but engage not in activities
that erode your credibility

what is the purpose of your being?
on this lovely land as human being?
go in for lovely enterprise,
achieve the result and surprise everyone

what if you hate someone!
care for no one
and go for amassing only treasure
and use it for only pleasure

many die for the ant of food
many may silently cry in the neighborhood
keep ears and eyes open
give a little part of your attention

human values are to be retained
no doubt, status too has to be maintained
if you can shed the arrogance a once
humanity has a full chance

leave aside your possession
but retain the compassion
it is essential for human relation
and that should be the cause for retention
