Real Poor Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal
Real Poor
It is insulting to be called poor
When people see them going from door to door
Not virtually begging but asking for all the needs
That time only you realize the people’s greed
You can feel real hatred
That can be read
From their tone
And address spoken
I don’t know
What makes them to throw?
Such cheap words
That almost hurts
Your child faces problem
To get the books with lots of trouble
No help is forthcoming and goes for charity
There he receives no help but sense of inferiority
I have faced it over and felt
That to be poor is like rubbing salt
Into wounds and get feeling of pinch
The same kind of pain is felt as such
It is merely a luck that child is born
In poor family to see all ugly turns
Yet he has all hopes of rising
With new day and quite not surprising
Poor of today may be millionaire tomorrow
His future may be glorious and glow
With all that shine and humbleness
You can watch at that time the real happiness

Rajat Lal In my opinion the difference between India and the West is this: in the West there are opportunities to do well even if you do not have, for example, a college education... there are other ways to lead a decent, fulfilling and dignified life if you have the will and the drive... as Andy and Garry have shared. In places like India, education often the only doorway to being successful - financially and socially. Without an education, most people (unless they have inherited wealth) are unable to rise out of poverty and make good any kind of opportunities.. infact the opportunities are non existent for them... they remain bracketed as 'poor' not just financially but also socially, and in some ways intellectually. It is why there are such wide gaps in standards of living in the developing world - vast swathes of people go without the bare minimum which would be a given for even the poorest of the poor in the west. Not to say that examples such as what 3 minutes ago · Unlike · 1 Hasmukh Mehta THE MAIN THEME OF THE POEM IS NOT POOR OR POVERTY BUT THE ATTITUDE OF PEOPLE TOWARDS POOR. i THINK THEME IS SLIGHTLY HIJACKED a few seconds ago · Unlike · 1
