The Lonely Couplet

Is it easy to find a 'good friend' nowadays? 
The pseudo-living teddies are the loyal ones always...

You shout, you lie... 
They will listen, but can't deny...

"Why did you scream?", they will never ask... 
They just hear; enquiring is not their task...

The good old days remain sadly quiet... 
Our present life has fixed nothing right...

Believing was not a great deal at that time; 
when words used to find their perfect pairs to rhyme...
