Pretty Little Lies

Manasvi Panwar

Updated: Jan 27, 2022


Distilled white rays conjoined

Lovely flowers from trees purloined

Within these four walls, air doesn’t traverse

In this lifeless life, lying isn’t a curse


The animal which is caged

Knows its life is rampaged

Yet it acts exultant to onlookers

A wax house burns it from butchers


A congenial lie it creates for itself

The bitter truth it repels

Lies make up its life

A mirage until it stabbed with a knife


The wax house burns down

Pleasant lies discrowned

The nursery rhyme chimes again

A lesson is learnt by the animal in pain


Lying is a sin, not a curse

In this world, lying in our hearse

We all know who the animal is

It is humanity but Ignorance is bliss
