Not Now Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Not now
Thursday,27th June 2019

You are so near
to the death threat here
it reminds you of the imminent reality
and that takes you near an almighty

at one moment it may enter
as thought but you counter
it by saying "no worry"
let it carry its duty

If it has to come today
we have no other way
to deny the death God
but to skip off from that load

if you leave under constant fear
your heart may skip the beats
that thought itself may push you to the corner
and it will make you worry further

"I don't want to die any day"
so many things are pending today
let it be over and I shall go
This thing shall never happen and blow your life

Hasmukh Mehta
