Death God Smiles Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Death God smiles
Saturday,13th July 2019

"Send him back, send him back "
he has yet to stake
the claim on the highest chair
with clever maneuver

"why did you bring him here"
he has created terror
he has some good work to his credit
let him fulfill his bad task and sit over the crown

he is a protected species
but has lost all the decencies
his only aim is to amass wealth
there he will spoil his health

let him live in a dreamland
where he will find no relatives or friends
this will hasten his end
so send him immediately back

Death god smiles at his trusted lieutenants
let him present as a clean politician at present
he will snatch everybody's share
and earn the name of the robber

the moment his pot is full of ill work
you don't wait for my word
bring him tied with the rope and throw him in boiling water
let him witness his own end there
