Poor Suffer Today Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Poor suffer

The river
Hindus call mother
It becomes life line for others
People flourish and prosper

It becomes part of culture
Many cities develop and built future
People feel proud
And its existence is talked loud

Before it reaches an ocean it shows
Its sacredness
Many states have seen its flow
Mainly farmers consider it holy and bow head

It becomes joint ownership
And guided by agreements to keep
Good state relation and harmonious atmosphere
But not to kill innocents and create fear

The judiciary keeps strong vigil
It expresses constitutional will
The interest of people and state is kept in mind
Some reasonable solution is found

The politicians vitiate the atmosphere
They ignite passion dispute develop there
People burn property and state fail to imply law and order
The public property is lost and ultimately poor suffer
