Teddy Kimathi Poet Free verse

Lessons

We've come across scammers,
white elephants,
damsels in distress,
fake online banks,
false prophets....
At one time in our lives we've thought
that we have neared or reached our
breakthrough,
only for reality to sink in painfully,
reminding us of fool's gold....

Probir Gupta November 12, 2016 at 8:17 PM Both real gold and fool's gold have been coexisting in our world and it would be so in future as well ... your poem, however, is as usual very illustrative of the theme ... enjoyed it ... Teddy Kimathi November 14, 2016 at 7:51 AM It's like both the real and unreal exist to delight and alert us.... Thank you so much for enjoying it, Probir!! ;-)
