A Lie When It Is Said By Many Need Not Be True! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

A Lie When It Is Said By Many Need Not Be True!



As and when a person has got the nectar in his hand
That will make his health and life to sustain for ever to mend,
If many people joined together show the poison
And tell him that this is the nectar proven,

Will he eat that poison with ignorance as right?
What the multitude of people said should be correct,
By keeping aside the nectar in his hand? Never!
A lie when it is said by many need not be true!
