Lies

The moon doesn’t have a hare slapped against its face

Nor does it smile down upon us

And orange seeds, swallowed whole, don't grow into a tree in my stomach.

Mcdonalds doesn’t serve healthy and nutritious breakfasts

And people do smoke cigarettes despite

Cigarette smoking being injurious to health.

Just as equal labour doesn’t mean equal wages

And ‘honesty’ has different definitions for a poor man and a corporate house.

Here eco-friendly means a million dollar apartment in the middle of what was once a forest

And a good man means someone who has made a lot of money and donates to charity.

There is no Santa Claus or a knight in shining armour

Tooth fairies

and

fairies

don’t exist.

...............

Now if only,

Someone had told me all this when I was a kid.
