No More Access Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

No more excess
Wednesday,29th April 2020

Everything in excess
denies you an access
to the nature's treasure
enough to cause your dawn fall for sure

not to speak of Corona alone
so many natural calamities have come and gone
we have not taken notice even
we have no option to be carelessly seen

why pandemic has taken heavy toll?
why we failed to respond call?
if it is mad made?
why we continue still trade?

we always worked against nature
plundered its wealth and made sure
the nature had to retaliate
and aggravate the situation

thousands have perished
yet the tragedy is not finished
the trade over dead bodies is going on
Oh, God! no mercy is shown

what are we supposed to do?
you want still more pain and agony to pass through
shower us with your mercy and grace?
keep smile and happiness on the face
