In his burning bed?
When truth is stretched and twisted,
A clean sheet is required.

Author Notes
Author's Note:
As this is my first Naani poem, I tried to concentrate on one of the suggested requirements: "Generally it depends upon human relations and current statements".
Therefore, to reflect a current situation and human relations, this poem suggests that when lies are involved in a hotbed of intrigue, our domestic equanimity is threatened and we need a new start.
