The map of the world furrowed across the windswept field – Selected poems from “Lockdown” by Aritra Sanyal
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Art is the lie we invented in order to believe in this world

 

To lie is one thing… and to believe is another, not everything we believe is necessarily true

 

It’s not even necessary that there be something to believe in

 

In the news, in the ads, in clothes, in the hotel photo galleries on the Booking.com website

 

In all the recognized sacred Scriptures and in our somewhat clearer vision of those we love,

 

It’s not a big deal to believe in something

 

Since we’ll be spending some time afterwards

 

Trying to discredit everything we had believed in

 

And this often occurs too late
