So Much To Learn From Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

So much to learn from
Tuesday,18th May 2021

Many things to learn
and to turn
the odd in favour
and lead peacefully with an honour

what is the value of living a life?
no one is expecting torn strife
life goes on
with unfamiliar situation arisen

people believed they are master
and can alter
the world order
but find themselves in disorder

life has become cheap
and worthless to keep
nature has shown what can be called 'Oxygen'
before that, it was unknown to humans

we have amassed enough wealth
at the cost of a deterioration in health
rich can afford the luxury of spending wealth
poor only stand in line and wait for death

We had seen lines for ration
we had observed the queues in the railway platform
but never thought dead bodies may have to wait for burial
I brush off the thought and send it for dismissal

I have seen the past and present
I feel the future absent,
will ever the next generation know about nature?
I, for sure, can't answer
