The Ballads Of Childhood

7• The Lier🐺🙎

Once upon a time long ago
A boy from a town always,
Used to walk with his sheeps
And he was quite fond of plays.

On some special days, he cried
Loudly asking for some help,
He claims that a wolf is attacking
His sheep, he used to yelp.

But when the countrymen reach
The boy to save his life,
He was found just laughing
To see men with bamboos and knives.

The people in anger leaves him
To his stupid sort of humour,
But they always used to check
Whenever they heard this rumour.

So one day the child shouted
To see an actual wolf attack,
His herd of sheep for real
But this time no one came back.

Everybody knew he was a lier
Who is shouting for just fun's sake,
And all his cries were ignored
Thinking they all were fake.

In this way, the child lost
All his sheep and himself too,
And the wolf enjoyed his special feast
Without anyone disturbing him into.

And that's how the boy's truth
Also, end up considering a lie,
And destroyed everything he owned
As no one heard his last cries.
