Why we lie?
In the heat of competition
In the thought of winning
Whatever we may vie
…. Why we lie
For the half truth
Or the half deny
For the compulsions we may shy
The truth is we often lie
The mirage we create
Part we disseminate
And part we hold
To look bold
Sometime intimate
What we cannot even ruminate
Exasperation
We cannot ventilate
Matter over mind
Matters in grind
What is already known?
Is never a find
Theft of word
Words full of debt
Crisis for dead
That dead looks for more apt
Point of views
Points that opine
We can see
Yet we belie
The truth of youth
For which everyone needs sleuth
Keep chewing it
Although not a sweet tooth
It is time for confession
To the next booth
Or silence
Till we die
