An Escape Door
A Aniruddha Pathak
0
Altın Yaprak
A wolf, bleeding mouth and claws,
Pleaded innocent as hell,
When asked who his witness was,
Said, my witness is my tail.
Now, if a lie's all a lie,
One can well fight it outright,
But if half a truth well nigh,
Nigh harder is it to fight.
Poor truth oh left all alone,
Void of witness, ill at ease,
Displayed a half-devoured bone,
But lost still, God bless justice!
Lies ever since aloud roar,
Sans red-proof, finds escape door!
And justice watches helpless,
Prisoner in its own fortress!
