She electroplated silver <br />She electroplated gold <br />Metals covering lies <br />Truths striving to unfold. <br /> <br />The plates although chip off <br />And sometimes they fade <br />Truth will parade her naked <br />And naked she will stroll. <br /> <br />A lie can never be <br />Without a truth behind it <br />Lies plate her into blinding shine <br />Lies wall her into mesmerizing diamond. <br /> <br />She electroplates <br />Thinking plates never fade <br />She bricks walls <br />Thinking they're built with diamond. <br /> <br />Even though diamonds don't electroplate <br />They brick roofs and walls <br />Imprisoning truth <br />But truth cuts through diamond.<br /><br />Mehreen Mujeeb<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/electroplate/
