Wealth Necessary Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Wealth-necessity
Monday,5th July 2021

The equation has fully changed
old sayings have been outraged
what were first the golden proverbs!
now it has curbed its own worth

now the man is known by his holding asset
that lets him full freedom
to purchase and influence
honesty has no relevance today

let us be frank and clear
can anyone say he is pure?
and remain so forever
this is difficult for poor

the human mentality has witnessed the change
the straightforwardness is simply unmanageable
now money and time is worth mentioning
without it, life shall lose its shining

if you can manage without wealth
and can survive on worth
it is heartening to hear
but I fear it is mere academic reference
