Truth

(Dedicated to all victims of lies in our heavenly world – Deepak Sarkar, www.kolki.com)

 

I can speak truth openly without thought of humiliation!

Because I don’t belong to an institution!

No one paid me to act honest in sophistication!

Certainly not gaining anything for self gratification!

Have no intention to campaign for future election!

Why can express myself before media characterization!

Unconcerned with worries of journalistic speculations!

Not lobbying on behalf of any platform with affiliation -

Finally, speech is not my professional transaction!

 

We are taught to be truthful throughout childhood

But we learn the adjustments reaching adulthood!

Soon get used to diplomacy embedding falsehood

Often knowingly withhold truth for livelihood!

Cautiously avoid inquisitive child throughout parenthood

Nation’s intelligence hides truth to save Nationhood -

Elected officials forget hands still on the holy book!

 

When people get used to lying under condition -

An honest and just society only lives in imagination!

Guarding truth is a game in corporate competition!

Military ensures national security blacking out documentation!

Celebrities learn to lie looking smart with fashion!

Religious leaders make stories during Evangelic mission!

 

Truth seekers try in vein to remind implication -

Avoiding truth only leads to eventual self destruction!
