When Poets Speak Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

When poets speak
Saturday,17th April 2021

When poets speak with a strong voice
people have only one choice
listen to or read that is presented
the words seem sweet and remain scented

let the metaphors be not used
let the high ornamental words be refused
the soothing words are rushed
and the theme of peace be pushed

it shall be heard
all over the world
and may remain in the minds of people
who shall come forward to struggle

it is not necessary to have divine eyes
it is equally not important to act with visionary trial
it needs only an honest approach
to reach the hearts of people

the car may stand on the road
it is for the people to ride
take the vehicle to safety
and show the power of poetry

Dr. Hasmukh Mehta
