In The Modern Age Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

It is never done and will not be in the modern age
To rewrite the old history in new page
The twisting of facts only to suit national interest
It will ever stand as shining factor to serve the best

The powerful kingdom might have humiliated the neighbor
The subdued country may long for revenge and harbor
The opportune time for avenging defeat as sweet reprisal
Always in search for suitable occasion’s arrival

The old wounds can not be healed or forgotten
The rivalry can well be taken care off and bitten
The opening of new chapter can usher in new era
The long vision is needed with so much adding of an extra

No country can afford to live long with hostility
The economy will drained out due to its continuity
It will bring colossal loss and unimagined misery
The country may face poverty and millions may die as hungry

Even the strongest economy may falter
The situation may worsen but not alter
There will be enormous effect on living standard
There will be reverse march instead of going forward

It is fact that national pride is something can’t be compromised
Nothing can be bartered or humiliatingly promised
The size of the land or prosperity can not rule the scene
The similarity and reasonability has to be seen

There will be durable peace only when relation grow stronger
The hostility and disparity must not be allowed any longer
It has to end with cordial note in earnestness
There will then be real peace and happiness

The world scene is like oozing volcano
The fire is slowing coming out like inferno
Little spark can ignite whole of regions
Slowly to be divided into ethnic war and religions

The bloody wars bring no result
The whole of population to live under fear and insult
The future generation may be led to believe in catastrophes
What else we are prepared to give as our legacies?


Time to act and with enough time to react
Collect the threads and smoothly to act
Even if one region is made war zone free?
It will be no less than holy Christmas tree

Let us strive hard to give world a parting gift
New resolve for peace avoiding the rifts
Full thrust in war torn area with new face lift
Complete transformation with new outlook and radical shift

*let world witness a tension free and bloodless peace zone*
