Human Nature



Loneliness is the only friend I have
All the rest are just fakes
Laugh with me they will
But gossip behind me they also  will

Humans are nothing but interest beings
They come to you when they are in need
And turn their backs on you when they aren't
If you're doing well, they stick to you like glue
For they half respect and half envy you
But when your world falls apart
Your aura becomes unactractive
And they soon leave your side for another

Let it be cleverness, talents, wealth, etc...
Once you have those, you are sure to have
a bogus disguised as a comrade
I mean not we are all plastic mates
But it saddens me that I may be stabbed tomorrow
by someone I think of as a family
Even though I try not to accept it
This is our true nature as humans
A malediction we are unable to escape from
