Sugar In Milk Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Sugar in milk
Saturday,29th August 2020

It is a great heart
That beats
Inside the close chamber
And urges you for the prayer

Know your people
Learn and appreciate how they struggle!
Share with them the concerns
And try to turn

Be conversant with native language
And try to manage
With their sentiments
And present it in the correct form

To know other language is adding sugar in milk
It is a mixing of your feelings with an ink
If you can make others cry
Then your wings become strong enough to fly

It shall be called shame
If you blame
The native language
And create a wedge

You shall have no natural feelings
And the capacity to sing
Your folk songs
And may wrong with an expression
