the differences...
truth u call today
will turn into lie
its just matter of time
the game that plays life

there is no truth, no lies
its just matter of time
one preceeds the other
as time goes by,

no body knows what is truth
and what to call as lies
they just take vote of people
say majority will decide

the one with truth
was killed or muted
and lie prevailed for long,
the moment truth gained momentum,
it stood as mountain strong

on both the side people were killed
in the name of right and wrong
still the question remained the same
who is lame or strong

another matter got limelight
when difference of ages came
they called it generation gap
then they fought for fame

the elders said they are right
they saw generation passed
the younger said we will rule
as you belong to past

another war another fight
took place in every home
the problem was known to all
the answer still unknown

some from eachside never kneeled
they rejected the fate
they tried to walk a common path
before it gets too late

they caved,searched enquired
for what is good or bad
to bring some happy faces
for war ridden and sad

the elders were very wise
they gave a wisdom slice
the youngers were so sharp
they gave their life spark

they preached together
to be together, as it balances time
this is how god had made
the society's design

the needle will rise still
only with balanced scales
with understanding between both
the mankind will prevail
