People Are Afraid Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

The people are not afraid when they resume routine
As they have left all worries to the power divine
Worship the God and he may provide the means to dine
Rest all will be looked after when time turns fine

The poor must stay where they are supposed
The doors must remain as it is and almost closed
The system we talk about is for all those
Who live under constant fear to be deposed?

Does any one not know that justice is purchased?
Do we not know democracy is hijacked and chased?
We all know but have the patience to witness
We have turned coward and remained brut on face

Why at all we need delayed justice?
Did we not give pledge and promises?
To uphold the sanctity and decorum of the institution
Breach the rules and still uphold the constitution?

We need action packed program
Safe travel in rail, bus or tram
All essential items within reach
We need no hollow words to teach

We are governed by the laws
But has many flaws
Justice is delayed
Even death sentence is stayed

It has been eclipsed
Opportunity is missed
Country must be given first priority
Nothing should be taken away as charity

Let it be governed for the people
Poor, rich have taken part in struggle
Let it be shared with honor and peace
Life must be lived with joy and at ease
