Poet's Way Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Poet's way
Friday,25th October 2019

what is there to feel about!
and talk out
in open
for all the humans

is it merely for fame?
or to claim
the position in the literary field
or the position to be held

in most of the cases, it is yes
when we come across
and face the real race
it seems to be the mad chase

I find the pulse is missing
where is the step for love's tracing?
why is there no hymn for deprived?
why have we not felt and lived in that stage?

nothing moves with the poem
how is it concerning them?
when their belly is hungry!
and seeks an answer from an almighty

in which way, it is touching heart?
when you paint it as human art!
you are trying to highlight only the skill
but for killing the human spirit and will

it has an appeal to the elite class
but in no way reaching to the mass
why the old folk songs are sung in every tongue?
even though it is sung in a different language
