Brenda Chiri Poet Rhyme

Save Your False Praise

I found over time in ones life
Everything is not as it seems
See nothing in life is ever real
Not any more than our dreams

Every morning upon waking
One never knows whose true
Many want known as a friend
In fact those true are so few

Your eyes don't need seen
Its all the words you will tell
In truth are they whats real
Or if only wish to cast a spell

Flattery doesn't mean a thing
If what's said is meant to deceive
Because those words that's said
For me are not well received

Save your colored words of praise
If the words are not what's meant
My time is precious so don't play
My time can be better well spent

John Hamilton October 3, 2019 at 9:26 AM Wowsa (not false) this packs a punch, I feel you in this write, as I've told others on this site have a social circle in real life, online is so easy to fool people, lull them into thinking they're a friend when they are NOT. If our only friends are in cyberspace there's something wrong!

Judy Ball October 2, 2019 at 12:35 PM Well said Brenda. A true friend is a treasure and treasures are hard to find. When you do find a true friend value them for what they are and you will keep them. Good job here. God Bless, JB Brenda Chiri October 2, 2019 at 1:04 PM Judy so very true! They are so very hard to find! You can know someone for years then wham they stab ya in the back! But worst is when all you've done is try to help them out! Smh head! I can count my friends on one hand and actually two fingers lol now I'm down to one! Shame I knew her for so long!;) thanks so much!

Chris Green October 2, 2019 at 12:04 PM This sounds angry but it does happen I suppose. You can't be too careful around these places, there is always a chance someone new will sign in just to start trouble. I can honestly say though that I have felt this way before so I know what you mean. Nicely expressed. Brenda Chiri October 2, 2019 at 1:00 PM Happens more than one cares to think about! That's why as for as the cyber world goes I don't think anyone is a true friend but then again what do I know! Thanks Chris!;)
