Cats and dogs of Truth.

To bell the cat is near impossible.

To tell the truth is a tough deal too.

To straighten a dog's tail is a day dream.

 So is the move to correct crooked thoughts.

 Truth's box office hits are accidental,

 Like a child prodigy's pocket full of brains.

 Even the Mahatma did inerasably confess

 To have done,only his experiments with Truth.

 All experiments do not become inventions.

 Neither all inventions are true to the core,

 Because the invention of firm falsehood 

 Is claimed to be fait accompli by its inventor.

 If the mind becomes the face for a farce,

 Many a face becomes awfully unlookable.

 When the face itself is acclaimed to be a veil

 Where is the need for a mask to fight disease?

 Wherever truth prevails,it remains unsaid 

 Battling like the dog's tail,not to be straight. 

 To tell the truth is as tough as to bell the cat

 Though wisdom always wails,smelling a rat.

P.Chandrasekaran.
