Poor People Suffer Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Poor people suffer
Wednesday,14th July 2021

You must cry
from the heart and ask why?
people suffer
and not enjoy their birth here

let it be Africa
The Middle East or India
the condition remains the same
somewhere it is a natural calamity to claim

but we feel from inside
and decide
what should be done to remove their sufferings!
at least you express kindness to such human beings

try to remain hungry for one day
you will know about the fateful way
that has brought you to this stage
you shall not be able to manage

in middle-east, it is merciless bombing
in Africa, it is man made suffering
either nature or human beings become their enemies
and add to their woes and miseries

It is our nature
that makes us feel sadder
whenever you see people under duress
the sadness rushes on the face

you can't reach out
but you feel about
and express sympathy
it comes to you naturally
