Debate

When Truth uttered conclusively,
Falsehood combatted defensively
When Truth muttered and interrogated,
Falsehood restlessly turned frustrated
“I shall prevail, come what may,”
Your flaunting is merely a bubble display
“I am with the weaker ones tarnishing their souls”; it proclaimed
“I am with the truthful ones who follow what I ordained”
Truth:A day will soon come when you will have been subjugated in its entirety.
Because I am full of wisdom, honour and piety
Falsehood: We shall see when that day arrives,
For now I am enjoying my might
Truth:I will persist and exist and foster universal brotherhood
As by falsehood , I have never stood
Falsehood becomes weaker and cant speak up any longer
Truth wins the debate and becomes even fonder
