To perish embracing the convincing lies
Or, face the wrath of life for moving away from them and nurturing the truth
Life has many faces; their reflections are distorted because of masks
Whom to believe?
Whose dialogues are honest and worthwhile?
Not because it augments material wealth, but honesty pays with hope
That indestructible mind comprehending the many facets of life
Honourable! Not a hypocritical way of weaving a mask to gain sympathy
There will be naysayers narrating the worst possible scenarios of embracing truth
In death, there is a moment where the entire universe stares at those eyes
Asking about the choices; those that were deliberately erased
To become a lexicographer who had twisted all the meanings
