Real Human Beings Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Real human beings
Monday,6th July 2020

Workers. laborers and artisans
they all are real human
and form the backbone of any industry
and it is recognized universally

are they looked after well?
their woes and misery may tell
nothing is going in their favor
not even their life is spent with an honor

the recent plight of their migration
really shocked the entire nation
they were forced to walk on bare feet
no one on the road to feed them and greet

their contribution to the growth of country is appreciated
but their status is not equated
with the level of other employees
as a result, the worker suffers

we all try to praise
but they are really chased
with no working hours fixed
and everywhere, they are exploited and harassed
