Why Pretend? Poem by Parameswaran Nair Damodaran Nair
Why Pretend?
As you distance yourself from truth
You create a rift between you and God
You have to hide your face behind masks
To save the false impression you spread,
To maintain the fake personality you made
You tell a lot of lies to save your face
You do a lot of wrong deeds to outdo many around
Many a truth you hide to uphold your ego and pride
Knowing not the truth that all around you
Know the real you under the guise
Why pretend rich with an empty wallet
Why pretend gentle with vices practiced
Why pretend cultured with meanness inside
Why pretend powerful before the most powerful
Will pretensions help you escape destiny's punishments?
Wonderfully true. Takes a hard look at pretentiousness and exhorts to be truthful. But people who enjoy being vile for short term gains, continue to hide their true countenance under gay masks. Nice poem. Top
Thank you dear Unnikrishnan. When light falls on the dark face behind masks we feel pity for them and avoid them
