Poem
Dilip Chitre
Determined to Tell Lies
Determined to tell liesPeople are able only to tell the truth –
Said Rahman
I said –
Leave aside truth and lies
People only speak
And what about people who don’t speak –
Asked Rahman –
What do they say?
I said –
You know religion, Rahman,
I don’t say a thing
