Lie Poem by Pradip Dasgupta

Yes i lie.
Sometime to save myself.
Sometime to get respect.
Yes the mask of lie hides
my real face.
If that fall then i will be
all open.
I lie with eyes on eyes,
with smiles and with tears.
I lie everyday, every week,
every month and every year.
But when the light of truth
comes, the lie vanishes
leaving me helpless and
shameless.
