The World Is Not In Ruins Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay

The World Is Not In Ruins

Rating: 5.0


They went to see the King.

The King's resplendent robe
they all glorified

but in hushed whispers were heard

There's no robe
The King is naked

but nagged them doubts
surely their eyes were lying
or the royal attire was too fine
for naked eyes

what they saw
shouldn't be seen.

It's then a child
before the King boldly stood
and upon his face said

You are nude.

Grown ups rationalize and twist realities or shut their eyes against unpleasant facts or tell hypocritical words to please..... A child which is innocent speaks his mind out.....! A Great truth unravelled through an interesting poem..... Enjoyed!
