Lying is death,
Rising is life!
Not trying is cowardice,
In one's hand is often one's fate!
Lying fallen is death,
Letting getting misused is cowardice!
Life is raising voice against injustice,
And rising above meanness with Faith!
Lying fallen like dry leaves is death,
Staying like the dumb driven cattle is cowardice!
Fleeing the field before the fight is death,
Embracing death like a hero is never vice!
Lying dormant at one place is death in the interminable strife,
Moving ahead cutting across all the bars and barriers is life!
Thus, let me never lie notwithstanding that I have to die,
For, lying heads one to a hell; rising leads one the high sky!
N.B.: Lying is used as a pun, having 2 two senses. 1. Telling lies. 2. Remaining fallen somewhere.

ReplyDeleteTq dear Sir for reading and encouraging me with your nice words.
DeleteA bit complicated about telling a lie and lying dormant. Solution: always be truthful. Always act to help yourself or someone else in need. No need to hide behind a lie in a difficult situation by denying the truth. Be brave and courageous to rise up beyond our fears. Thought provoking write.
