☆ Hypocrisy* ☆
Surrounded by the
crowd of masks
I’m perplexingly
standing as a question,
Will I ever reach or not
the real face…
Under the mask of friendship,
hiding the impious enmity…
Under the garb of cordiality
soaring with rancour,
Under the elixir of words
hiding the vicious poison,
Why does human,
fueled by jealousy,
don the masks?
Keeps the split personalities…
The time he spends in
creating and wearing masks,
That many moments of life
he loses in vain,
Wickedness in every breath
pollutes the very existence…
Friends! Keep the life
pure as Ganges water,
What is there in the hypocrisy…?
