We Have Lost Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

We have lost the body and soul
In every aspect it is smelt as foul
Where two square meals is reality!
The struggle has lost its teeth and quality

What reason can you give for up rising?
What have you to say for when promising?
Gone where the days when people offered voluntarily
Came out in open with chest for bullets readily!

Now men in street have come to know about the futility
The hollow words, false promises and behavior of poor quality
It is not the same time when leaders were found selfless
Speak of same value and stand for no duality on face

What do we have then as an easy option?
It is quite difficult to go for an adoption
The moral value is eroded and is for name sake
In depth study has revealed so much value at stake

There is too not much to claim from freedom
It is hardly seen in practice or enjoyed seldom
Everything is sold at fixed price and for asking
Any one with money, muscle and power can make staking

The time has witnessed changes so are the seasons
It has changed due to some known reasons
Eco balance is disturbed to an alarming level
There is not much to take credit and excel

We have mastered the art in lip service
Where no amount is to be spent for promises
You show them twinkling stars or moon in day time
Miss them all completely when see them next time

Now has the time for orchestrated trouble spots
Enough funds is spared and warning is fired in shots
It is now battle on large scale with selfish goal
The original charm is lost and definitely stolen
