Liar Poem by Anindya Mukhopadhyay
Liar
〔Ⅰ〕
you hit and run,
then return
to say sorry.
do you think
it work?
yes it may
to the end:
a gauze band
for a glass pane
broken beyond repair.
you stare
like a jackass…
〔Ⅱ〕
admit that
you've hurt
her emotions.
take a deep breath;
for the truth
now prepare yourself
don't you hear?
‘fie on you liar—'
echo the voice
you won't learn!
yet return again
to fashion sorry
(First composed: December,2019)
Enraged, the poet calls them ‘liars' that are not ashamed of their deeds and have least idea about the consequences it will have.
False promises made, have broken her heart beyond repair and he can only ‘stare/ like a jackass' now after several futile attempts.
The poet is in the mood of complete disgust. Finally giving up hope he ends, ‘you won't learn/ yet return again/ to fashion sorry'.
But is this poem confessional? This is left for the readers to find out. Your comments and feedbacks are most welcome.
