there are more lies
in truths of today
than they were
in yesterday’s lies
imagine
how many lies
there will be
tomorrow
what you hear
truths or lies
add a grain of salt
no truth
nor any lie
is constant
your perception
of truth or lie
will change
over time
and experience
with history uncovered
through every narrator
only you
can recognise
your own truths
only you
can fabricate
your own lies
confused?
don’t be
go beyond the truth
there waiting to be asked
lie the right questions
SONYA KASSAM 
I believe it is Nagib Mahfouz who said “a clever person knows the right answers but a wise person knows the right questions”. Thanks for the thought provoking poem.

Dear Ranu,
This poem came to me one early morning during Ramadhan and I had forgotten all about it till I went through my notes…more like scribbling :-)
