Hypocrisy

By Manasi Manchanda

You prefer darkness but complain about the absence of light...

You need the distance, yet wish to keep them in your sight.

The sun is too hot, the rain too messy and winters you can't bear...

Compliment girls in short dresses, but won't let your own girl wear.

Taunt eve-teasing and rape, yet girls on road you continue to stare...

Wish to lead and take on the world, but to do your part as a citizen you just won't care

Want things in abundance but also that are rare.

You say your life is in your control, yet helpless you are in front of fate...

You give a speech on hypocrisy, but aren't you too a hypocrite?
