The Old Theory Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

The old theory
Wednesday,9th June 2021

The earth trembles with fear
no one knows when the war clouds would come near
threaten entire human beings
to bring chaos and disorder

not only youth, children or old people
everybody has to struggle
for the survival
as an individual

forget about the old theory
where people used to talk of humanity
extend humanitarian help to the needy
and material help to ease the poverty

now only material wealth matters
and offers it with an arrogance
there is no chance of coming back
where entire humankind is at stake!

let us bury the differences
and seize the chance
for defending the human race
and chase our goal
