Analysis of Fake Concerns



You're too far away to make sense,
I can't see you, the smoke is dense,
I hear faint concerns through the rain,
repeat the question once again.

Sadly, I don't feel like answering you,
Maybe I don't even have any clue.
I don't like your interrogative stance,
Refrain, I'm giving you another chance.

About this poem

Not every question asked from you is out of concern. People will inquire you about things only to use them against you. They'll make outrageous promises and claims but all you have to do is wait and let them contradict themselves. Today they are your friends, tomorrow they'll be digging your grave before your death.
