Ears Turn Dead Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Ears turn dead
Monday,14th September 2020

"Every dog hath price"
so we have no choice
pay for it and enjoy
there is no price for joy

what to write!
how to delight?
forget about all these
there is a price tag or fees

"you read mine"
it looks fine
now you need to form a cartel
before the world to reveal

poets run to the market
and try to let
their poems be read
with lots of requests and pleads

there is hurry on their part
it is natural for beginners to start
but old-timers post their creation and forget
to read, others

If you expect nothing in return
you shall have a fine turn, but if you ask, why don't they read?
their ears turn dead
