Crying babies born,
Marking a new dawn
A new record will begin
And the time starts ticking.
Each and every second
Reduces as the baby grows
The baby becomes an adult
Facing the difficulties which lie ahead.
Going to school,
Interacting with others
Tracing the path which lies ahead
With unbearable lies.
'Why didn't you do your homework?'
'My dog ate my homework.'
'Why were you absent yesterday?'
'My grandma died' – for the umpteenth time
We lie when our mothers ask
'Did you break it?' 'No, I didn't', we say.
We cheat by lying everywhere we go,
But lying is a sin – don't you know?
We lie at the very early stage of socializing,
We lie to mom, dad, teachers, prefects and friends,
Then we go to the outer world
Where we lie to our bosses and get fired.
We are rich with everything-
Telling lies, cheating and being cunning
But when the big day arrives,
And death rattles the gate
Death takes our soul away
To the God who is up in heaven.
Then will come the day of justice
And when God asks-
'Why did you lie?'
Then we'll think – isn't it obvious?
And we'll say-
'No God, I didn't lie'.
