Lemon Is Lime Nor Orange
Faces feign, flaunt many a mask, strange
Countless veils, copiously cunning range,
In mighty terror still
Truth mirrors with own will,
Chameleons camouflage, feign a change,
One may hide behind mask—
Unequal to the task,
But lemon can be lime nor orange.
____________________________________________________
Most of us often wear a mask and think that we fool others. The truth however is, we are only fooling ourselves. For, we can’t feign things for long. A chameleon knows his kind. And mirrors make no mistakes, nor are in errors. Face may feign, but still all in vain.
Note: This poem was written in 2015. It has nothing to do with the mask meant against Corona.
