The Voice

The open blue sky is 
so calm when it's dry. 
But, soon after getting cloud 
It makes sound very loud. 

Same is the creature, 
Who had no piety for the nature. 
Heart of such a man 
Is like an empty pan. 

When touched with emotion 
Feelings get a motion. 
It raises the voice to break out 
And voice comes to the mouth. 

This is the way by which 
Man learnt the speech. 
Language is innovated by and by 
Which is further divided into true and lie. 

Lie hollows out the base. 
Truth is the way to success. 
It brings us up and high, 
Just like clouds in the sky.

I like the way the ending is tied back to the beginning, works for me. Enjoyed.
