Sculptor-Sculptures Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Sculptor-sculptures
Saturday,8th August 2020

We are human beings
and try to bring
reasonable and unreasonable arguments
and present it before the world

it is a divine belief
that provides relief
why does it need a temple or church?
to worship and find God as such

to make an idol or sculpture is a simple art
not all the carved stones find the place
some kind of life is filled with religious hymns
and that is how it becomes part of the religion

does the sculptor do it of his own?
no doubt his art is shown
but he has been paid for the creation
it has been installed now in the temple after the congregation

nobody goes in the temple as untouchable
this place is always reachable
let people observe sanctity and sacredness
no one can then stop an access

It is man made the embargo
that goes against the human spirit
we vitiate it by inflaming the sentiments
rather than present it in its true spirit
