In this poignant verse Vatsala looks at the antonyms, the binaries of life, exclusively for Different Truths.
Good, bad
Happy, sad
Kind, mean
Humble, arrogant
Cruel, forgiving
Selfless, selfish
Respect, disrespect
Truth, lies
Honesty, dishonesty
Sincerity, betrayal
Frankness, hypocrisy
Friendship, foe-hood
prevail in
Life’s
actions
speech
mind
painting hearts
sunny blue
rainy grey
making us
wise
making us
blind.
