Sacrificial Attitude Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Sacrificial attitude
Thursday,16th April 2020

When there is question of life and death!
everything is pressed into service forthwith
warriors are sent on borders
home front is looked after by writers

warriors sacrifice for the country
to protect the sacred boundary
where as writers brace up
to face the challenges at home

warrior fight with sword
where as writers use words
even sharper than the edge of sword
and arouse the sentiments with the spirit of words

there is close relation
between word and sword for excitation
warriors are committed to lay down lives
where as writers boil up the blood

both have the same commitments
to project the country as holiest of the holy
accept challenges with open hand
and end up with solemn sacrifice in the end

where writers have no soul
or warriors have no will
you can expect unimaginable
both are committed for the people
