I’ve been told that truth has advantages; <br />But certain untruths share the same sentiment; <br />As the battle amongst humankind rages, <br />Congratulate your own presentiment. <br /> <br />Wallow in the wrongs of your country fellows; <br />Trade your soul in mock exchange; <br />Risk your neck until you mellow; <br />Yet you’ll not feel that strange. <br /> <br />Many things contrive to drive one crazy; <br />And many opportunities that slip away; <br />The mist of reason is rather hazy- <br />Truth waits for another day. <br /> <br />When truth’s unbound, life’s a song; <br />Though it’s sung in different voices; <br />The antagonists will feel that’s wrong: <br />Freedom begets numerous choices. <br /> <br />The fate of many were chronicled in history; <br />That’s history - inspiration of good and bad; <br />Lies have crumbled nations built on mystery: <br />These common untruths have remained a fad. <br /> <br />The perception of deception awaits explanation: <br />The brokers of truth have wagered our existence; <br />While justice awaits eternal damnation, <br />Truth surfaces with amazing persistence. <br /> <br />If truth is reality, so are lies; <br />Like pain is painful reality. <br /> Like many with unheard cries <br />Died with truth’s ideality. <br /> <br />Nothing’s unsound with truth unbound.<br /><br />Subroto Chatterjee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/truth-unbound/
