An Impression

An Impression

P K Routray

A deliberation

on human disposition, an impression

by the acts of mind and intellect

and by family, society and sect

is worth for a discussion

with philosophies from all religions.

To tell a lie or not to tell the lie

at times dilemmas in us vie.

Mind poses two lawyers for the case

to argue out taking man’s imprinted impression as the base

Intellect is the judge to give the judgment

as per the weights of both sides’ argument.

Truth loses often to lie

when for our greedy gain we are not shyu.

The judgment is recorded in our disposition

obscurig our brighter traits to oblivion.

in future over truth this eases the lie to score

referring the judgments already in store.

They all are imprinted in our dispositions,

then we are gradually transferred from divine to demons.
