EYES OF TRUTH

It joined me with a mere cry.

I gave the air

And resisted it's die.

When it moved forward

And took it's first stride,

I was there to provide the grip.

It tore my heart

And extracted the blood.

I sustained the pain

But never asked, why?

It plotted me out

And made money out of me,

My parts were sold for lakhs per acre.

But hardly I ever hesitated ,

As I was the mother to all.

After gaining age and Wisdom,

It came back;

I was elated.

At last I am going to be served;

Tears rolled down my chin

And hand raised to greet him,

It looked at my eyes,

But the eyes were neverth the same.

All my acts went in vain,

As he turned back;

And never looked again.

I burnt in the fire of agony,

For my son had left me alone.

But never gave up my job to serve;

As eyes of truth are always watching us.
