No Pretension Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

No pretension
Saturday,2nd March 2019

I dream of true friends
who stay together till an end
send me good wishes
despite the known fact we shall turn into an ash one day

I shall expect
and not react
to his being as poor
he shall stay as good neighbor

I will accept
his origin being kept
close to the heart
and make him my part

I will not prefer
to look at the mirror
and see who am I
and see through an eye

even iflook at
I needn't be caught
at pretending
the self unending

Hasmukh Mehta
