POEM: Truth Stands

Moving steadily

At a snail’s pace,

Unnoticed,

Truth, like a ghost,

Reigns where injustice prevails.

Like a glimmer of light,

Your love acts as a guide,

Overshadows the evil paths of life

And leads man on

Peacefully to the end of his life.

Man’s quest for knowledge

In all fields of learning,

To find the whys of things

Coupled with their effective use

Are motivated by truth.

Like a corner stone of a building,

Truth

Is the basis of a prosperous life

For all those who love her.

Truth, like a mirror,

Shows one’s real image,

Reflects on one’s intentions,

And presents one’s true colours

To his fellow men.

Glittering in sun’s rays,

Like myriads of jewels,

Throwing great radiance

Like a diamond,

Truth, of all things stands.
