NEVER SPEAK A LIE
NEVER SPEAK A LIE
Never speak a lie, said she;
Suffer as, thou art to be,
Nay not, no man teach;
Thy truth shall help you reach,
The Good Heaven, you ought to reach!
Too hard, they say; ‘To speak the Truth’
Too bad they say; ‘To speak the lie’
To speak the truth, and stick to it
And face the ignominy of life...?
Oh! Ye, the wretched lie,
Thou art you play with life;
Should the poor creature on earth
Be scared of thy dreadful farce
And perish with thy vengeful act?
Never Speak a Lie
Yes, mothers know the truth and wnt to share the same fact! Sooner or later lies are unearthed.
Reply to comment on my poem 'Never speak a lie'
Being a human on earth as well as an Indian by birth, you very well know the value of mothers who play an important role in moulding the character of their kids. Even if their children reach adulthood or manhood they always treat them as their kids and never forget to tell them what's right and wrong. That's a unique character of any Indian mother I suppose. Hats off to them. Thanks a lot for your comment.
