“Men lie. Women lie. So do numbers.”

Everything is an art,
everything is aesthetic;
Lying and every vicious act too.
Everyone and everything else
tries as much to prove that
they are masters of their art.
When the numbers on paper
don’t look the same
with the ones in the sky.
When mothers see daughters
like competition for them.
When Fathers use sons
for instruments of war.
It is well
Time tales tell time tales
The clock is ticking,
Tick tock tick tock.
