For the much voiced
Injustice in front of eyes
In metaphor goes the elephant
To be shown to those with sights
For some is to ignore hue and cry
For some the nights and days
Burning oil for a praise
Of the word written
To woe the strangers
For others take and give
Eulogize each other in return
Some emerged overnight
From infancy others grown
To lead the turmoil
With much fervor
For having discovered the lies
In the truth
On its face
Some others have opted
Pulling the dead poet
Up the hill
To be graded amongst the living
Born out of lies the poets of today
What truth shall they speak
When the courage in morality
Is one to be above all
Plagiarism a minor evil
In this ruthless game
No rules and laws can mend
But the conscience itself
