Maybe it was just half true and half lie....... now what would we call that!
our falsity is other's joy...so why not? let's seek our happiness in making others happy in these lives condemned to flasehood!

Yes Madam I do agree, and follow the dictates of those last two lines - to remain 'bindas' and free! -Raj Nandy
A 'Lie'... to whom? Lie can't be aimed at others It's aimed at one's own sense It’s that you don't believe But uttered with an intention. Your last line is superb... It’s a 'Consolation' to oneself That one's lie is to make others happy. A listener of a lie, when is strong. Lies are just flies to him. It’s here today and there tomorrow Doesn’t matter around. Dear Poet, you gave me good grass to eat At the very first sight of this day. Nice and simple, Your usual style. Thank you.
Maybe if it makes a person happier, it's then - not really a lie. maybe? Goood one Mamta! ! *10*! ! Friend Thad
Very good poem. wonderful topic u selected. Yes often we lie to please others as a matter of social compulsion. On a lighter vein a 60 year husband tells his 58 year old wife 'with passing days you are growing more and more beautiful' may be just for a cup of coffee...ha ha ha..
Well not evey body lies but I have gotten into so much trouble lately I better learn..This was most excellant...Thank you..
a provoking concept..sometimes you lie for a good cause..see my poem ' I Lied ' it depends.. you lie but is true..
