Hired Servant Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Hired servant
Wednesday,30th October 2019

Now I am a grown-up woman
responsible and well placed human being
always think of other's welfare
but stare at the void felt by

have I to spend whole life?
to face the torn strife
and receive a cruel setback
by putting everything at stake

is it not the gamble?
for any individual
to struggle hard
but have to take steps backward

have I to repent as a failed woman?
and do nothing as human
everything looks as purchased commodity
whose main director is an almighty

you have come here as hired servant
perform or perish at present
think of nothing else as helpless
and bring no gloom on the face

Hasmukh Mehta
