Truth Hurts Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

TRUTH HURTS MORE THAN LIES
AS LIES CAN BE DENIED WHERE AS TRUTH CAN'T BE ACCOMPANIED

TO BE HONEST IS GOOD
BUT TRUTH CAN’T BE DIGESTED AS FOOD

IT MAY NOT TAKE YOU OUT OF WOOD
AS IT IS TO BE PROPERLY UNDERSTOOD

TRUTH HAS PREVAILED AT THE LAST
BUT DAMAGE ALREADY DONE AS IF AFTER BLAST

MAN MAY BE SUJECTED TO TORTURE
FEAR FOR LIFE AND ALMOST WITH BLEAK FUTURE

ONY BRAVE MAY STAND FIRM ON GROUND
REST MAY BE OPPORTUNISTS AND ALWAYS FOUND

TRUTH MUST BE SPOKEN WHEN REALLY NEEDED
PRINICPLES SHOULD BE FORGOTTEN AND POINT CONCEDED

IT IS TIME BOUND AND MUST BE RESPECTED
SOULD MSUT BE SERACHED AND INSPECTED

TRUTH, IF NEEDED MUST BE REVEALED OR SPOKEN
RARELY USED AND NOT AS GESTURE OR TOKEN
