Oasis and Leas

Honest conduct proves the static human being in one,
Whether it is joy and justice or gloom and sin to one .

Love and lie can’t travel together for long ,
Be it a personal or public venture to prolong .

They say, time heals all human wounds and sores,
Also is proven, it tests vigour when the sea roars .

Even endeavours for peace within and mundane pleasures ,
If watered and manured with truth, turn into gold treasures .

Such saplings take the shape of huge banyan trees,
And surely serve in the desert as an oasis and leas .
