Eternal Lies

By Nidhi Nandrajog

There's a black and there's a white

With shades that are grey

We can separate the black and white

But shades remain that of grey

Lies have a habit of being spoken with flair

How much ever justice and truth may prevail

What is revealed in the end with care

Is believed to be real, authentic, crystal clear

The black and white is so lovingly moulded

No suspicious mind has it in its power

To see the naked truth hidden in the layers

Under the greyness of black and white  colours 

I have always been intrigued by black

So many secrets, so many spaces it leaves blank

It is solid, it is concrete, it has nothing to fear

It shows reality, it professes danger, in all its splendour 

Then is the contradiction 

A pure spread of whiteness

In the holy thoughts of attraction

Of truths that must be made known 

To the world with unconcealed extraction

But grey is the colour of today's reality

Lies embedded in every stroke

Impossible to separate from originality

Hues that bespeak close proximity

To the conscience free soul

Whenever I see the grey in the sky

White clouds foaming to become black

I am reminded of this unspeakable fact

Like the acid adulterating the pure rainfall

Eternal lies pulse through life's footfall
