Ideology and principles are the heavens

Ideology and principles are the heavens.

Ideology and principles are the heavens,
we often dream,talk and draw their outlines,
but fail to reach to them ourselves,
when our turn comes,
we don't afford to live in them.

Just as we praise the beauty of a hilltop,
but don't dare to stay there for a long period.

Once we lie or hide a truth or commit a sin,
we get to know we do wrong across the lines,
violate the charter of principles we laid for ourselves,
we begin a damage control mission.

To cover the first one,
we shelter under another falsehood,
begin spreading lie against others,
Some of them lie so emphatically,
that they succeed to cover their corruption.


Then we assure ourselves,
"Take it easy""This much is not unfair, its ok."
 to save our own face,
from the vigilant eyes of our conscience.
One step ahead, we blame others
"Who under the sun is cent percent perfect?"


Each time we show excuse to ourselves,
we indulgently grant concession to ourselves,
and prepare ourselves to violate one more,
and become unscrupulous once more.
