People People People

Those with time to the brink are on the irk.
Sincere toadies do not cast magic shirk.
People who have also been hugely hurt.
People tranced with the act of a flirt.

 Firmly, it isn't the genial people who I denied.
They're apt as crucial as the things they hide.
This dreadful wrath has taken over my heart.
 If I grasp them, chew the cud; my hair grows a dart.

You appreciate them, yet they overlook you.
It's tuff to fathom folks who love but fade too. 
People who beget anguish and sadness.
People who say they care but flee in darkness. 

I deplore slugging, furious, proud, and slander people.
People fear honesty; therefore, I sprawl the treacle.

Congratulations on your win. As a child, I did not understood the kids. Then they grew we into adults/people. Now for people, I have never understood them and guess I never will. A pretty picture. Have a blessed day........................

This is really very well-written, Lasaad. The old saying "You can't judge a book by its cover" never loomed so real when it comes to some people. Congratulations on your win! Charlie

People are as they are--we are at peace when we choose to honor self. Great insights, Lasaad. I like your photo--inspiration for us knowing how a lotus emerges through mud.

People are hardly as they seem outwardly . Many are full of deceit, arrogance and pride. Many people beget anguish and sadness ! A profound write on human nature, Lasaad ! Best of luck in the contest!
