One Real Person Is Enough

In a world of fancy clothes lipstick and slapstick jokes 
its not the swift flash dance that lasts but the fire stoke 
its not that quick silver tongue that fudges with untruth 
but the heart that lives in its abode like a joyful sleuth 
In a world where music and drama is a thing of the past 
its not the talks revered with jabble dabble social blast 
its the quiet moments we spend on the carpet nest 
that gives our soul sustenance so never be a guest 
In a world where some love you and some throw a shoe 
its not their opinions that count but what you think of you 
its that joy in your heart they can't steal nor eat for a meal 
so be a "REAL" person, speak only words that weigh.
