Naked Truth Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Naked truth
Wednesday,26th May 2021

who can hear?
and bear
the anguish and agony
inflicted by many

we dislike truth
and like to crush the tongue under the tooth
we shall love sweet words
but forget about an edge of the sword

truth is like fire
no one would admire
or appreciate openly
as it criticizes publically

no one shall have guts
and may speak with ifs and buts
they may shut the door
or show the door to the neighbour

but one thing is certain
one must maintain silence
and speak only when it is necessary
else it shall carry a wrong message

speak when the dais is cast
and must last
with the lasting impression
without losing the charm of relation
