Not Slave Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Not slave
Sunday,5th April 2020

I am not prepared to lay low
and allow
the situation to worsen
my dream of heaven

if I am kept as slave
i warn you to behave
with me as human being
that shall bring real peace

I shan't remain
with pain all the times
I shall rise
and surprise everyone

who dares to keep?
and make me weep
for all my life
I shall rather face the strife

no, it is against humanity
and wishes of an almighty
work is no inferior
but should be done with an honor

Hasmukh Mehta
