Analysis of Look out



What makes me sad?
Why is such trend?
Why do I crave for more?

I am poor
Everybody shows the door
Live with scant respect from neighbor

People push me away
Consider me hurdle in their way
Avoid contact and distantly pray

I am little less in brilliance
And no fortune hence
This keeps me tense

I wish to be rich
But can't reach
People come to me and preach

“Work hard as you have”
Able body and dare
You may certainly fare

I get less so I resent
Enough reason to discontent
Await response from mind to consent

Happiness lies somewhere
I feel shy and do not dare
But some how I have to care

“Fight with odd' I decide
Nothing more to add
Be happy and  remain no sad

I pick this slogan
As it fits for human
I am not the only one

This is way out
Life must be thought about
Long for what you have and look out

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…
