Real Friends Are Like Trusted Siblings

Real friends are exceptional guardian angels Like devoted and trustworthy brothers and sisters Like T58 heavy tanks assuming defensive roles And like invincible armors - formidable defenders. True friends turn neither allies nor rivals into vile devils Real friends always protect one another’s interests True friends don’t behave like manipulative pests And real friends act humanely, on all conceivable levels. Beware of all fake, faulty, fallible, frail and faux friends Choose your friends meticulously, wisely, and carefully Our world abounds with futile, tawdry despots with tainted hands. Friends don’t create troubles for nobody even for the foes Our world teems with vermin eager to devour babies’ toes Be fully aware of the surrounding waters and the slumbering sea.
