LET’S ALL BE TRANSPARENT

LET’S ALL BE TRANSPARENT

Listen, with a raft attention! The clear water of transparency
Lets the light of trust reach the bottom of a life-pond’s heart!
Alas! The scum of hiding gives birth to gloomy despondency,
Since it pollutes and profanes the clarity of water with its dirt!

Oh! Transparency is the remedy for all complex solutions,
It, like the sanitizing bleaching powder, ends pollutions!
It builds with ease a durable dome of unshakable relations,
It sweetens the aroma of affable and unyielding emotions!

May transparency prevail in the Elysian edifices of human lives,
May it cement the unshakable bonds of the husbands and wives,
May it strengthen  the filial ties of the parents and children,
May it transform the dull and drab earth into a blissful Heaven!

Thus, before aspiring for transparency, let’s all be transparent,
Lest, we should have to ruefully say later “Sorry”, and repent!
