The Response

In search, of the response, you want, to hear,
while trying, to please others, along the line.
In return, of the response, you want, to hear,
you believe, all of sudden, everything is fine.

Fine is, not the response, you one day, would hear,
for the truth, was often, put on, extreme delay.
As long, as you did, what they then bid, you would hear,
the words, you want them to then, happily say.

Hurtful, was the response, of what you, next time hear,
of the advantage, others taken, of you lost, amongst the trees.
Realizing no matter, the response,  one may, want to hear,
people will still lie , to keep, their life, in extreme, direct ease.
