Harsh Winter Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Winter brings death message
Especially for elders and aged
Poor find hardly any cover
Their bodies shiver with thought of winter

In village some fire wood is found
In city that will not be available even if one goes round
Life is miserable and unbearable
It has been spent with all kind of troubles

Many shelter covers are provided
But only in name and facility is avoided
In winter there is no light and blankets
The wrong people have occupied the place and let in

The people in charge are totally ignorant
About plight and sufferings of people at present
The children are dying each day for the want of medicine
We speak of words “the children are faced of god and divine”

Daily news papers are full of miseries
Such news is live and not mere stories
It speaks of real picture that exists today
The poor has to be heard in any way

Whole of country is under thick blanket
The snow has been severe with cruel face
Poor are suffering more with aged and children
The summer is also not approaching soon
