ONE CAN NOT LIVE BY TRUTH ALONE-----------

We live by own perceptions, which does evoke self- delusion;
Self-righteousness is human vanity, leading to self-assertion;
But whatever your credentials and however right you might be-
For, one can not live by truth alone, if world becomes the enemy.

Swear by truth by all means, live by it your each moment,
It might be your staple diet, but no reality it ever portends;
Truth is also bitter to taste and it never showers harmony-
For,one can not live by truth alone, if world becomes the enemy.

Compromise, tolerate and adjust, also live by compassion;
Universe is large and big, here space exists for everyone;
Perfection is an utopian dream, craze for it sounds phoney;
For, one can not live by truth alone, if world becomes the enemy.

Every thing is inter-dependent ,whether human-being or a nation;
One's deficiencies and short-comings will squeeze life in isolation ;
Let this thought guide your life and become a survival symphony;
For, one can not live by truth alone, if world becomes the enemy.

To err is human, we all know; but delibrate intent makes it a crime-
To forgive and forget is the golden rule which makes life sublime;
Forget the 'past' and live in 'present' as 'future' wrapped in mystery-
For, one can not live by truth alone, if world becomes the enemy.
