Why Do We Want? Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Why do we want?
Friday,24th October 2020

Why do we create a situation?
whereby is caused the destruction!
why are we so desperate?
kill innocent and show others gate!

yes, it was heaven on earth
there was no dearth for the hospitality
people were cordial and hardworking
now the guns are smoking

why do you think the world can be turned red?
why others should remain panicky and fled?
when the heart is filled with rage and anger!
peace can't prevail here

it was a calm valley
totally accessible and heavenly
now it wears the ghostly appearance
people come from outside and cause the disappearance

other things men made
forests have become barren and dead
natural wealth is destroyed
so humanity is also annoyed

the soldiers are targetted
the houses are gutted
voice is muted
freedom is diluted
