Act Fair For Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Act fair for

If birds can act fare
And live near
With closeness and attachment
It needs attention at present

The animals too show kindness
And show happiness on face
When shake head in recognition
Towards owner for kind relation

Those who have no tongue to express
Show it through head or face
They show their happiness with eyes even though tied with rope
They still feel grateful and hope

What has happened to us?
Why do we expose intolerance?
Why is that we are taken over by hatred and violence?
We live under duress and always remain tense

We have become blood thirsty
And life has become an ordinary
As if there is no worth
And hence bring immediate death

Even people from same religion resort to
For people paying through faith
Still they are gunned down
And even thrown on the road

Why not nations be made responsible?
Who fail to pronounce punishment to people?
Who indulge in ghastly and gruesome acts?
Failure for taking steps bring strong reaction
