Shameful Act Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Shameful act
Sunday,13th December 2020

It is a shame
on those who claim
to be peaceful,
for the strike to become successful

even ruling elites
in the state
their move is untimely
and may face the demise, surely

even our constitution is amended several times
there had been regular suggestion to bring in the changes
Without trying. To demand its withdrawal is unwarranted.
have they ever thought what other poor people wanted?

to bring in divisive forces
and exert a force on elected Government is shameful
to deface the statue of nations' father
it is massively deplored here

The strike is a basic right in a democracy
and everybody must fight for in the country
but to harass other common people
it negates their struggle

go in for talks
and don't walkout
go for its correct implementation
and strengthen the nation
