Deep Below The Dignity Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Deep below the dignity
Saturday,17th October 2020

What has happened to our thinking?
why are we sinking so below?
the dignity and honour
why the people have gone crazy?

we always respected women
and considered them angels
to look after human beings
and bring peace and happiness

In ancient times. They were our pride.
and decided the course of action
we never reacted badly
but respected thankfully

my head shames down
when hearing the atrocity on women
they have tolerated for us
without losing trust!

what are we doing today?
neighbours are molesting and openly defying their integrity!
father commits rape and such things to go unabated
we update ourselves with stone age

how long shall we degrade ourselves?
and make acceptable social behaviour!
is she not our mother or sister?
we need to adore and admire her
