Essential For Livlihood Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Essential for livelihood
Tuesday,21st April 2020

You are right in saying
you were born naked and laying
on the floor with the hands open
people celebratedentry in this lovely heaven

it was really new world
with many things remaining untold
still you were happy with childhood
and loved by all in neighborhood

poverty has urged you to rise
and surprise
everybody by your zeal
and you made it real

you made it exception
with dedication
and earned the repute
that nobody could dispute

since it was essential for livelihood
you had distinguished it from falsehood
the live was clearly drawn
the wealth and treasure was meant for your brethren

no one could perform so far
but you had strong will and power
as human being you showed your liberal class
it was left open to mass
