Everything is a lie

Everything is a lie

P K Routray

Once I did try

closing my eye,

imagining with a deep sigh,

without falsehood and lie

how competently the human race

the world today, they can face?

Heard cries of many a mother

with cries of their babies together.

without telling a lie

she could not stop her babies’ cry.

Grandma stories children could not listen,

to test students, teachers could not set question.

From a false postulation

Scientists proceed for the invention.

Administrator for administration,

artists, poets painting their imagination,

players outwitting their peers on track and field,

hunters hunting from strategic hide

adopt a degree of false hood and lie

failed now they to succeed and rise high.

Courts, parliaments were found locked

police politicians were jobless and shocked.

Books of fictions and novels were set on fire.

Without promise of Heavenly love ended many a love afire.

Disappeared news papers, cine house and TV show

unpaid were artists with advertisements’ incomes were too low.

Milk, cows did not yield

as calves we could not shield.

Suddenly me it struck that I myself am a lie,

idle mind forcing me, the truth of life to defy.

Everything on the world is transitory and a lie

with passage of time they pass by.
