Path and the way

PATH  AND  THE  WAY
=================
,I've told you  before
 And I'll repeat  It Again:
It's not my fault  but
My way to confirm the Truth

In front of a mirror
Crowd have put me like a parrot,
And behind the mirror
The Teacher tells me what to say.

Whether I am perceived
As a thorn or a rose, it's
The Gardener who has fed
 And nourished me day to day.

Don't judge my Bleaching power
I use it as a bleach to wash
The color of hypocrisy away.

All that laughing and weeping
Coming from some other place;

Please do not ask me
Why I am, standing,here
My simple reply
,I can see both the Path and the Way.
