Unlearning Is the Way of Getting Truth

Learning is a process in which lies
 The power of knowledge but I like to unlearn 
The art of telling lies and inventing them 
I do not like to be in an ego trip as it  is the biggest lie 
And merely an idea of feeling good 

In truth you need not to believe 
In other words truth needs not any follower 
The smile of the moon 
The love of the sun 
The existence of them is 
Independent of any body’s belief 

A lie draws people close more  
But vehemently repels  truth 
Though there is no power in a lie 
But the way you tell it
When the way  becomes an art 
And a liar emerges as powerful as an artist 
People bow to his power 
And like a tragic hero aptly listen  the saga, 
The story of a rising liar who glitters like a star  

Truth is complete enough by itself 
 It needs not a listener 
Quite often a learner is offended 
But truth catches up those  who unlearn  
The art of telling lies or inventing them.
