Stay Back Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Stay back
Thursday,11th October 2018

I shall stay back
and definitely stake
to my roots
and not shake the head

let people say anything
but I shall try to bring
harmony and peace
after all life is precious

what have I to do with their thinking?
when I have not an even slight inkling
they may cheat, deceive or even ignore
I shall keep my option to explore

I want to be no extra person
but I have reasons
to be different in the public eye
and try in a different way

I shall be condemned
and even damned
with their outbursts
but I shall survive and last

Hasmukh Amathalal Mehta
