Perception May Be An Enigma Poem by Kishore Kumar Das

How can I know
what you think about me
what you think
may not be same as
what I am
a saint may do corruption
a terrorist may look humble
sweet words may flatter somebody
a gentleman can dupe you
outer beauty may deceive you
and unpleasant words may be a boon;
this is the common plot
for many a novels, films and TV serials
the media can kill you
based on the false perception
so also
media may be the 'king maker'
with the patronage of media
it's now a grass root event
the scenario gets complicated
when you interact with somebody
over the phone
or through message
all kinds of rational action
may prove futile at the end
nobody knows the solution
but let us beware of this.
