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 Date: 11/12/2016 8:17:00 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 ...
