Let Us Strengthen Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Let us strengthen
Friday,13th March 2020

Let us strengthen hands
and remain friends
by saying "namaste"
with respect in good taste

there is travel ban
imposed by all nations
not to move across
and invite the loss of precious lives

it is spreading with speed
we need to
all the precautions
and not invite further deterioration

this is never known epidemic
with no knowledge of its basic
it is raising head
and claiming more dead

everybody shall remain confined
all the measures are defined
no public gathering and participation
it is worst kind of catastrophe in operation

Let us not create hue and cry
but try
to help and counter
the threat forever

Hasmukh Mehta
