Absence and presence.
Which of them is reality?
Life and death — that too is she.
She is — I am, I am not.
Gave as a gift or stole,
Refused or took,
The idealist proposed,
But the pessimist rejected.
Saying, you did not prove it —
You deceived, you lied.
Absence is also presence…
That is why the lie is reality.
