Enemy Inside Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Enemy inside
Tuesday,2nd July 2019

I am the slave,
bound by my own prison to behave
like me there are many
chained and detained already

I have a limited span
but want to do something more
for the family and the self
but thoughts are imprisoned in the mind: s shelf

jealousy does not open eyes
and I go on trying
with an aimless mission
and have more confusion

another devil is striking very hard
they are permanently seated inside
hear no one's appeal
and make own deal

I know for sure
still, try to know no more
and continue with the dismal show
and go by the same traditional flow

Hasmukh Mehta
