You Dared Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

You dared
Tuesday,18th February 2020

To whom do you always depend upon?
has He ever shown you correct path?
or do you remember Him at the time of death?
think over and hold your breathe

who has stood by you so far?
and has come near
listened to your vows and addressed
have you ever traced the source?

you have cried many times
in silence and in critical times
he has not shown mercy directly
but rendered the help immediately

you have cheated your conscience
without using common sense
you were blinded by the material power
giving less care and attention to the creator

he has heard you and taken care
but you went against and dared
to challenge his authority
and thus invited wrath with continuity
