Strange Manner Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Strange manner
Monday,16th July 2018

I said hello
an answer was not allowed
you kept quiet
I then did not let it happen

you were staring at the sky
as if seeking an answer with the question mark Why?
was it not the total lie?
I left here alone and did not try further

this is not the way
you show the dismay and
try to present as if I am an unknown entity?
and lack the basic courtesy

sometimes we fall victim to misunderstanding
and it goes on unending
but we sort it out
and talk at length about its origin

surely, one doesn't remain noncommunicative
for a long time and behave
in a strange manner
in this way, both the people suffer
