Reciprocal Behavior Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Reciprocal behavior
Friday,17th January 2020

It has been often said
with some principles laid
"do good" and forget
let goodness be not rewarded

it is also further emphasized
don't get be seized
by the reciprocal behavior
it might be in the form of dishonor

let them judge the way they like
and strike at the root point of goodness
but that should not be taken note of
and laughed out

there is no remedy for such treatment
even we have hanged the noble people then and at present too
we have made such a system that truth suffers
and we offer only lip service

no amount of narration may suffice
as it is human promise
"to err" is human practice
and that only causes demise of humanity

nothing has changed and in future "not" also
it will go
with notice or unnoticed
but interest is definitely evinced
