No Crocodile Tears Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

No crocodile tears
Friday,17th July 2020

Shed no crocodile tears
or bear
the grudge against promising poets
extend the helping hand and let them blossom

it is an open field
so hold no gun
against anybody
who is not only talented but a lover of the poetry

let your mind stabilize
and realize
how bad it looks with the reverse reflection!
you have brought the good name down

even river waters slow down
when the course becomes hazardous and unknown
it is time to prevail calm
and cause no harm

what even if you are learned, man!
but lack the feelings of human
it is really a disservice to the self and others
who take you badly and refuse to offer respect

Hasmukh Mehta
