No Desire Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

No desire
Sunday,30th September 2018

I want to be a simple man
but kind human
with concern for the fellow brethren
and ready to work even for them

I have no desire
to amass wealth here
and show to the world
the position I have held

I have nothing to prove
but to move
in a nice manner
for the downtrodden and poor

I have no desire to compete
with anyone or hate
anyone for any cause
I have already chosen the path

I shall keep on trying
to be better and better human being
who has only the one aim
and I shall always claim an ordinary position

Hasmukh Amathalal Mehta
