In Search of the Truth

My journey in this desert
Continues from so many centuries,
Bearing my cross of truth
Across this treacherous earth, I kept on walking
One eye says
        all is truth
The other eye says
        every thing is lie.
Between this truth and lie.
I kept swinging like a pendulum.
I know that the water shimmering in the distance
Is nothing but a mirage,
But still, with hope in my heart
I kept running in the direction.
I know that in this blazing sunlight
My companions who journey with me
Are nothing but my shadows.
But taking their companionship as the truth
I continue my journey with them,
one eye says
       all is truth,
The other says
       everything is a lie.
