Taking Oath
Today;
As we take the oaths
We pledge to be loyal
To God and the nation
We wriggle our waists
Giggle like birds in happiness
In the cool forests of hope
But for a day it is love
For a moment it is all smiles
Yet when the devil comes
In the morrow
Smiles become lies
Oaths becomes thorns
To be hidden
In the abyss of history
Full of fossils
And riddles
