Much More Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Much More

Rating: 2.8


It is not only life and death
But much more and worth
You have nothing with you as such
Yet you can deliver much

Even though in ordinary way
But that can wipe out millions of tears away
Keep your hands ready and pray
With only words meant to say

Which of the things make you rich or poor?
Even with so much of wealth you are knocking the doors
Why so much greed for wealth and attachment?
When it is not going to help at any moment

Use only two hands for everything
Ask for mercy and pray for something
Let your passage be smooth and happy
Rush in for help even if not forthcoming or ready

You have nothing on hand still you are rich
You have everything but not within reach
See the difference between rich and without reach
What else is there to observe and foolishly preach

No one has left behind any kind of rich heritage
Even if existed then there is no worth mentioning on the page
Who may go in detail and try to understand?
When we are unable to distinguish between foe and friend

You are like dry leaf of an aging tree
With one powerful blow and you are free
Fly of from beautiful branch like crest fallen
What else can fate which is normally seen?

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Maisie 2012.01.24 15: 57 Several phrases come to mind here - 'we come with nothing and leave with nothing' and 'you can't take it with you' being two. In our material world these things are often forgotten.
