The Art Of Telling Lies Poem by RADHAKRISHNAN KRISHNAN

Catch them if you can! !
Can you peel off deception?
House of lies have strong foundation,
To master the art, they make preparations.

They lie to preserve someone's feelings,
Or in self- preservation in social dealings,
Or lie to show themselves clever,
Importantly to make themselves popular.

The art of lying is all about confidence,
To take advantage of other's innocence,
To cook solid lies, you may have ingredients,
Best lies may fall like cards sans confidence.

Practice this art in front of a mirror,
With a loud commanding tone more clear,
Some environments are better than others,
Let the targets be always strangers.

Judge the reaction of targets mid-lie,
Never avoid contact with their eyes,
Don't let your conscience prick you,
Everyone does it, no need of cry and hue.

Lies are deep rooted in our society,
Masking real by makeup & plastic surgery,
If the lies are told with best intentions,
It is ethical based on situations.
