O, Countrymen Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

O, Countrymen

Rating: 5.0


Miles can be covered
If joy and happiness is shared
Whether it is human relation
Or with any other indication

Hostility still prevails
Many people are killed and mechanism fails
Politicians talk of peace and do nothing
Make life difficult and add fuel for something

Two jawans*(soldiers) were beheaded
Their heads were taken to be paraded
What kind of barbarism in peaceful environment?
Still no word of regret or official comment

Same people wish to have religious offering
On a land where they feel to regret for erring
How come one even thinks of stepping on our land?
Where they have only cultivated hatred as friends!

How many visitors come from that country and disappear?
Engage in hostile act and we have to suffer?
Yet our ministers prefer to garland and offer hospitality?
Despite strong resentment from people for hostility

Such people deserve only democratic kick
They will not love to be beaten with stick
Yet we are tolerant enough to allow money laundering
Land grabbing, open commission and sharing

Beware! They will come to you for votes
Different schemes and promises they will float
The moment election is over
They will talk of power share

They want people to suffer
Die on road and face the murderers
Baton charge on innocent demonstrators
Open protection to crime perpetrators

Rejoice o, countrymen for such heritage
You have time only to remain in bondage
You will have no bread to eat and wear the shoe
Come to little sense and resolve to fight for truth
