No one opts



No one opts for it unless forced
Inner soul feels guilty with remorse
Yet that is compulsion
No one desires it with simple question

It is curse to be called beggar
*Daridranarayan* in new avatar
Daily asking blessings for little food
Appeals to all in the neighborhood

Charity is not offered daily
It is done with curse really
No one parts it with smiling face
Only left over food is offered in such cases

Body is capable to work but no backing
No one thinks of utilizing their skill and stacking
Their place for honorable living is not though over
Payment for real labor is denied and offered no sheler

Yes some kind of rehabilitation is warranted
Their place in society is hopefully wanted
They are very much part of society but not blessed one
God has given them hands but they are helplessly chased

I shall only think and do nothing
Express pity but deny offer for something
The beggar passes off along with our feeling
Our sympathy remains behind as concealed

It is gigantic task and needs some consideration
Not all can be rehabilitated at one place with concentration
Many may still want to be in same position
As it provides them no other alternative habilitation

*Daridranarayan… God's incarnation

Hasmukh Mehta

am an ex-serviceman from Indian Air force. I joined Oriental Insurance Company and retired from there too in May, 2007. I have been graduated from Punjab University. I hold technical qualification like Diploma in Radio/engineering .I have done English and Hindi stenography as well. I had mastered the art in Morse telephony too. I am associated with several welfare organizations and served long time as Union leader too. I am at present working as hobby writer. I write poems on various subjects and invite suggestions from all the quarters. I have written one memoir named “As I see it” and ready for publication. One interesting part of writing I would love to share with all my reader friends. I am not sure weather it may be the same case with all as I do not want to be caught in any controversy. When I sit on my personal computer, there is absolutely no thought in mind as to what is to be picked up as thought and written. These all things I leave it to the discretion of almighty to fill my mind with relevant ideas. So far I have been graced by Him and as result able to compose about 4000 poems. I have be awarded with 4 achievement award from the www.ezinearticles.com for successfully meeting with their standard. I am writing on many sites so as to be associated with reader friends all over the world. I am thankful to all those who have supported me in my initial days. more…
