Poem Title:
Poem
People say they care when they don't really care at all, But it sounds good and by saying so, they don't feel as small. People tend to say what will serve themselves the best, Hoping they won't be called upon to prove by any test. People like to say lots of stuff they don't really mean, They're simply performing so with favour they'll be seen. To keep up appearances they make sure they appear Like they are wonderful and caring as well as sincere. Oh, all the fake personas out there, especially on the 'Net, Who profess they Love and care, and you, they never will forget, But as soon as your presence isn't as much as it used to be, They'll forget you exist along with what they claimed emphatically. Real is real. Truth is truth. Both are constant and consistent, And so this goes with people, true friendship is persistent. Fair weather friends shine on sunny days when there's no rain, But true friends keep shining through in storminess and pain. The 'Net is like a jungle, tough to get through, All so overgrown, at times, treacherous too, But ever so often we are blessed to find A flower in the thicket of the rarest kind. This flower we can add to the garden in our heart, Knowing its beauty will remain, always be a part, Of who we are today and in all our days ahead, Always adding beauty uniquely in our flower bed. Then, as for those who are plastic and pretend, They matter not as a fair weather friend. Only those who shine when our skies are grey Are the flowers we must cherish each and every day. Their presence may be obscured when from our eyes we see, But their fragrance and their beauty in our heart will always be. A Jungle Flower is a treasure, indeed, a miracle to find Amongst the jungle of the 'Net so often fake and unkind.
