'Do not tell a lie,
Do not tell a lie, '
This way the mother
Repeatedly advises her little son,
Hearing this,
The son thinks for a while and then answers,
'But lie is the bedrock of the modern world, '
The mother becomes stunned.
Bingo! This one get first prize, In today's world, all we get is lies. As Countries are abused and die. This is an exemplary, wonderful, great poem.
A child speaks the truth. Yet, a parent should lead the child by example by doing right. A meaningful poem.
Yes, he sees lie flourishing and gaining position while the truth is shouting hard to survive.
2) That aside, your poem is insightful. The last 2 lines are brilliant. I appreciate the comments of Dillip and Rose Marie re: your poem. Great work, my friend!
In spite of all the liars in this crazy world, I sincerely believe that most people are honest and decent. We shall occasionally tell a little white lie because we aren't saints.
Why should I tell lies? A poor man who believes in truth is million times better than a rich liar. I can't say much
