Truth Seeker

A sweet tongue we ravish,
That make you slavish,
It serves delicacies sweet,
Belongs to modern management!

Cover venom with sugar,
People would like ever.

Straight forwardness is razor sharp.
It bleeds the heart at times,
We keep it in sheath to buy love,

They say truth is relative.
Eternal truth is creative
No truth has permanence,
Praise the rose in its prime,
Discard it when it fade.

The dear damsel turns perfidious,
Then you become a cynic,
And stop social mixing,
That is life, you know.

Advertisement makemarket,
All lies camouflaged,
Life hasturned perfidious,
Consumeris rules the world.
