Where Lie Wears a Mask Of Truth. Poem by Nabakishore Dash

Where Lie Wears a Mask Of Truth.

Rating: 5.0


A Brahmin was carrying a healthy
goat on his shoulders,
three swindlers decided to eat
goat's meat and planned.
Met him at different distances
in turns, said him
'You are carrying
a dog in stead of a goat'.
Ultimately the Brahmin doubted
his own wisdom, believed them,
threw the goat
and the cheats gained.

A lie told multiple times
becomes apparently a truth,
most people approve it
sans proper analysis.
Many people suffer differently,
some commit suicide
due to present day social
media, its falsity and malice.

In the past,
dog biting man
was a news.
But now, a man who wants
to remain in news,
bites the dog,
with morphed, animated videos
and computer techniques
people believe and browse.

The videos of cock laying eggs,
the ram and bull giving milk,
a man being pregnant,
ambrosia streaming from
the feet of Sadhus,
sexually explicit morphed pictures
of humans and the like
are very common and such
things have become even
a profession.
This has become a platform
for loss of social unity,
understanding and peaceful existence,
laws must be framed for
it's regulation,
users must move their
fingers with utmost caution.
