The Illusions of Falsehood by Adhiraj Agarwal

The seven seas we have sailed,

And the horizons of our planet we have conquered,

But never has man attempted to escape the whirlpool of his dismantled, dishonest cry,

Although centuries and millennia passed by.


A thousand voices ranting, is that a human’s fate?

It has been concealing something we never tried to investigate,

Something that lied within our consciences, this entire time,

And although it rang as prominently as a sonorous chime, With ears we were profoundly deaf and

with eyes we were perceptibly blind.


Putting behind our pasts, with the ‘truth’ we must comply;

In the verities of this physical world, it lay;

The truth one dawn or another will protrude triumphant over the clouds of the illusions of this

world,

When the dross of falsehood will vanish before the very eyes of men.
