They Are Liberal Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Let people say they are liberal
Broad minded and vocal
But reality is something else
They falsely profess

They may sometimes say
Local people must find their way
Manage local affairs and choose body
There should be no interference by anybody

We find it is all hollow
People are not allowed to grow
They fight over control
Sometimes fight among and give bad call

They advocate education in mother tongue
Their children study abroad much to the knowledge of few
They claim to have interest in poor
Where as ordinary people are shown the door

They try to show honesty and moral value
Where as they are known as anti moral antiques
They may grab anything and anywhere
Enough of funds flow takes place there

They fight for their own perks
Ask for more facilities and claim stakes
Millions of rupees are needed to be in front
Lots of bloods shed and almost all over places to confront

They swear in the name of democracy
But people are left at the mercy
Of no one but only almighty
Honest people can only feel pity
