LIES AS WEAPONS OF WAR

From the infamous drama of tearing apart the CM's resignation letter,
To false narratives and daily fake news reported by Meitei Media,
All are well-structured systematic designs meant to conceal truths,
To alienate the Kuki-Zo community from their land and livelihood,
To overpower them in politics, economy, and their religio-cultural freedom.

To wage a war, Biren had always twisted all facts about the Kuki-Zo people,
By inventing false narratives like Foreigners, Encroachers, Infiltrators…
In the process, seizing their land by labeling them Forest Encroachers,
While most of the villages were established before Forest Act existed.

Edison Moirangthem, a young devil, released a fake video claiming that
Many Meiteis were raped and killed at Lamka on the night of 3rd May.
Instead, they were safely escorted by a human-chained group of Kuki-Zo women.
But, his heedless act claimed 70 plus Kuki-Zo lives in Imphal on 4th May.
They were brutally killed under broad daylight; even women were not spared.

From day one, the Meitei Media House has continuously reported lies,
They whitewashed all facts and figures to distort the truths from viewers.
They had completely debauched the cardinal principles of media ethics.
Yet, they all still fall on their knees to believe even their own lies.
In tune with Hitler's line - "Tell a lie a thousand times, eventually everyone will believe it."

Leepun's head, Pramot, bluffed his way through to paint a false picture,
All his blatant lies were well-believed by his people, both young and old.
Even their intellectuals and scholars ignored or overlooked the truth.
Philem made up his own story to hedge his bets as he scared the Tenggols.
Bina Lakshmi dodged the questions asked by Karan to bend the truths.

They well knew - A half-truth is a whole lie, but they still live in a lie.
It's like a long Netflix serial of lies with many seasons and episodes,
Received 'Lies Award' from various TV Studios - ISTV, Tom TV, Impact TV…
Now, even some youngsters like Ichanthoi trained herself in the art of lie.
As no two lies make one truth, no sensible person will ever buy their story.
