Veracity or Mendacity(Poem)

✒️:. Mohd Ishaq Shah

How do I measure worth,
How do I judge the rate,
What shapes the world today,
Truth, or crafted deceit.

Is war ever required,
When peace answers every need,
Why spread hate,
When the aim is human good.

If it claims to serve humanity,
Why does it deliver ruin,
Is the struggle for resources,
Or the hunger for power.

Is faith to blame,
Or the misuse of faith,
Is evil born of belief,
Or of unchecked desire.

Pause for a moment,
Let the noise fall silent,
Look inward with honesty,
Ask why humans lose self respect.
