What is true?? What is real??

What is true? What is real? Its all the same

Call it untrue, or a sinister deal.

Your emotions flew, or your wounds didn’t heal.

Its all the same.

A liar and an untrusted fellow wearing a halo.

Life is about conscience not virtue nor vice

Left or right, fall or rise

The mother of all this is conscience

It carries the weight of your pity and stupidity

It carries the story of your libido, chastity or promiscuity





What is true?? What is real?? Its all the same

Whether you are seeking favor or fame

Whether it is for you just a chess of loss and gain

I believe there exist not in this world the cast we put forth

There is no black and white; good and bad people

Life is no comic book to segregate between humans; a hero and a villain

Life relates to an "Abdul Salam" movie, depicting people of different sense of living

Unlike a Schwarzenegger blockbuster where we know who did the kidnapping

Its just a bunch of people raising their life standards to the ceiling

Life knows not the regular "Romeo" who meets the enchanting "Juliet"

It is much like the Greek prince "Paris" and the Spartan beauty "Helen"

A tale of love and betrayal, sacrifice and selfishness;  loyalty and war

A legendary tale due to its anti-climactic nature

I mean life is a Chelsea and Barcelona fixture

It is the day's climate that wins not the players, 'cause its still everyday football

So why not an everyday result??

This lesson was learnt in the hardest of ways,

So pause before you criticize the lesbians or gays,

For everyone has reasons and notions

So next time guide them rightfully

Express your reasons respectfully

That is called understanding sacrificially; Loving toughly

So what is true?? What is real?? Its all the same.

It is just a conflict of motives.
