Oh! Your Deceitful Lies

Dear Reader

My next poem is “Oh! Your Deceitful Lies”

The poem describes the convincing lies told by established social organisation; religion and such other ideologies. It speaks about how throughout the history these ideologies have fooled people and how people in power have used these ideologies to keep the masses under their thumb and stay in power.

 All through the history people have been killed in the name of religion. In the name of pleasing god many people have been put to death just for speaking out the truth. This poem is a tribute to all those courageous souls who had the nerve to speak up the truth well-knowing the consequence was death.
This poem shows how the lies have piled up one upon other and how they have convincingly mingled with the truth and become the truth. It tries to throw light on the facts and show the reality to the reader.

But after all these cruelty in the name of God and Religion, there is still hope. Brave men and women will one day come out of the closet and realise the truth. They will study all the long held beliefs and reveal the hoaxes to all. They will be ready to climb to the most inaccessible places in search of the truth and will pull down the tyrants who have ruled in the name of god.   

So here it is, I hope you like it and hope the truth prevails.


Oh! Your Deceitful Lies

Oh! Your technique of maligning things
Oh! Your deceitful lies
Champions of Champion you are, no doubt
No matter how much we try

Duplicitous words drip your mouth
As lips are drooling sweet humbugs
 You create the best illusions, no wonder
Friends in reality are actual thugs

With your one word or a phrase
Fertile land is declared moor
And if anyone begs to differ
They are sure to die in the war.

Layer by layer your lies are piled
Gracefully arranged into a peak
Ideas are killed and massacred
Leaving no loose-ends, no leak

But men, truth seeking men, will
Find truth from your hidden boxes
No doubt soon they will triumph
 Smashing off all your hoaxes

The eyes will soon be opened
To release the burden we carry
To caught you by your throat
We are ready to climb up your eyrie
