Not You Alone Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Not you alone
Wednesday,1st April 2020

Not you alone
but everybody has gone
to the destination
without any preparation

neither your wealth
nor even good health
may strengthen the faith
it shall be taken over by the death

what remains then?
the soul and spirit even
that experiences
that life is a chance

if you come across
before knowing the loss
the drama shall be over
with no more shelter

God has given you third sense
so feel no tense
life is given by an almighty
and death is stark reality
