Lie

It always starts as a small lie,

encouraged by its success,

the child always gives another try,

making a habit to clear every mess.

Surprisingly at that moment in life,

the lie seems to be the right path,

to come of situations without strife,

and save oneself from severe wrath.

Treading along, many people found,

giving thumbs up and a broad smile,

the child feels relieved with many around,

believing this is a jackpot, at least for this while.

Unknowingly he sharpens this skill,

using lie frequently, setting himself free,

enjoying life, shrugging responsibility at will,

he digs his own grave while trying to flee.

In the process, the child wins the smaller battle,

but ends up losing the big war.

The small problem grows big unable to tackle,

injuries convert into wounds leaving a scar.

It is always better to follow the path of honesty,

for truth never needs to be remembered.

The stress of today’s man is due to his dishonesty,

many lie stored in the mind, keeping it clustered.
