A Realisation
Mehnaz Nasreen *
Trust breaks like a shrieking glass
If not handle with care;
One can't be in the same class
When one starts to compare
Respect is the binding word
If lost once, can't be found again;
Worst is the double standard
As it only leads to an excruciating pain
Act like an Oscar-winning actor
But don't, if you don't know how to act;
Sweet words may be sweet to ears
But the motive can be even bitter
Know the people in and out
That's what one hears elders say;
At last, that's the best thought
One can always adopt in one's life way
And never wait for this realisation to come your way,
Because this world is full of chameleons in a human being shape!
