Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Just Some People

Lying people, with fake smiles
 Always seeking to beguile
 Truth is not their's to reveal
 They never seem to keep it real

 Stoned people, on a high
 They have no wings, yet they fly
 Lighting up  as the fire they stoke
 Watching it all go up in smoke

 Sad people, with vacant eyes
 Seeing only dark grey skies
 They've lost their joy and their cheer
 All they're left with is their tears

 Internet people, just a click away
 The world wide web is where they play
 With digital anonymity, they leave no trace
 As they travel through cyber space
