What Kind Of People! Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

What kind of people!
Sunday,6th October 2019

You became "father of the nation"
it was your orientation
for the liberty and freedom
coupled with the foresight and wisdom

you might feel surprised
to see what kind of people head the country!
talk without head and tail
and miserably fail in our aspirations

we got what we wanted
and really chanted
the verses in the praise of motherland
that was to be soon become mirage at the end

People have grudges for the praises
"Victory to the motherland "has raised debate
many politicians stoop so below
and allow the mind to be poisoned

to become ruler of undisputed land
it has developed a new trend
speak something against the nation
and remain in limelight with a negative indication

do such people deserve sympathy?
do they expect slight respect in the country?
the time has come to proclaim them anti-nation?
or traitor and exile them to the other nations
