Truth & Only Truth Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Truth & only truth
Sunday,16th May 2021

It is possible
my cries shall go unheard by the people
I shall fall down on earth
but shall not accept the death

even if I am hanged
or exiled
from the mother land
My fight shall be on till an end

truth and only truth
as it needs no proof
even if I have to remain aloof
and become homeless with no rooftop

what if you lose your head
but remain widely read
for the stand taken
and appreciated even

life means principle stand
life means understanding basic values
street dogs also fill their belly
but do they really get an honour?

human lives are dear
so think about innocent and poor
they may be our immediate neighbour
or staying even next door

it is given and taken
not for the showing sake
as humanity is at the stake
life is not as we think a sweet cake
