Longer He Remains Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Longer he remains
Friday,17th July 2020

Longer the period he remains
he shall cause unbearable pain
not only to the established poets
but senior poets who prefer to remain quiet

there is a limit to decency
and very much essential for the peotry
where the human aspect is respected
and never badly reacted

there are people to judge
but you are not prepared to budge
at one point of time, you apologize
and very next moment seized with the hostile stance

once the person is going berserk
he shall never jerk his head
give no serious thought for what is going on
and disrespect is already shown

such people need self-exile
so assess the suicidal style
where one is subjected to shame
yet he runs after the fame

Hasmukh Mehta
