if the truth must spill

Before the truth must spill

Hot lies will always breed

More attractive than the berry trees

With many fruits plucked by so many

Seeking to be free.

Amidst their fantasies of dreams

But never swimming to her streams

Oh!what else can be so sweet

So leaked by everything that breathes

With side effect of latent griefs

If the truth must spill

And flow into our innermost seas

Though salty or bitter it seems

Citadel of peace it is

Fortress of  hope devoid of ageless fear

Tiding of goodwill enriched with care

Realities that free our beings

When it is well and even before we yell

And still rescues from fantasy’s well

Before we taken snare by this excited bell

Which ring sweeter than the morning birds.

If the truth must spill

Before hot lies takes us to her hills

Of deceit and beginning of personal ills

Let’s have a taste now of the bitter pill

Persistence, hardwork is surest way of victory

If the price is paid

Soon the world will make a way

For this dark face in a sacred place

Placed in the book of history

Where great names  are layed to grey.
