River Waters Also Stagnate Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

River waters also stagnate
Thursday,15th October 2020

It is good to be idealistic
but not to be away from being realistic
some terms really appeal
but we feel it hollow and unreal

people talk about harmony and peace
they even go further to offer life at an ease
they sing about honesty and integrity
but in reality, they act dishonestly

when you are using big terms with words
the future path should look bright with the forward march
it must be projected with future dangers
and with a clear formula on how to enter that arena

that doesn't mean we should always be pessimistic
but all our doings should have some principles or basic
even river waters stagnate
if confined to at one place and fail to relate

dream high with an ideals
but put in real impetus
it is easy to appeal
but difficult to follow in real
