Lackluster Life
Come to me with a heart truly sincere,
I am fed up of your games and eyewash;
And your pure pretenses in every sphere,
Stop existing like a capricious bosh...!
Don't act like living and live like acting,
Though life has sequence of action each stage;
When acts, by flaunts and flirts, turn distracting,
Life remains void ever; an empty page...!
Hypocrisy is not a stage-manner,
Potent actors are never white-washed tombs;
Truth, often, like a rigorous scanner,
Pierces through even tightly secured rooms...!
Learn from flowers that never in life bluff,
Living a life fully true too is tough...!
