Strange

Mostly, when people say they care, they really don't
and thoughtlessness is an epidemic
and love, a fantasy or a duty or a pride of ownership
but sometimes they really love what you do for them
grateful as long as you keep doing
feelings are fickle
they come and go like the faces that carry them
even the sky is fake these days
I watch them spray the sun away
plant artificial food
create tragedy for a time that could have been peaceful
should have been...peaceful
so what's "real" ?
shrugs...matter of opinion
If bullshit's real for you...then that's what's REAL,
I guess

Too many people look for handsome or beautiful. It is what is inside of each heart that is important. If that is Bull, I will take it every time. Valentine

"Even the sky is fake these days... I watch them spray the sun away... "
Strong lines. Yes, the world's itself seemed to be faked these days that pushes the "faith" away to the core of brutality. People loving violence, aggression & bewitched life living although they ain't know what they do's all makes 'em "Strange". Deep imagery. Enjoyed reading your words.

I can relate to this Lynn. People are trying to be more and more "politically correct" and abandon the true meaning of friendship. in a fast food society, there is always going to be brevity on things that take time.

There's certainly truth here.
I've met a lot of people in life who are Over the Top nice and do nice things for people but it's a need they need to fill for themselves so it's a bit disgenuine.

Hi lynn. I so love the way your mind works!! Your word choices are great, and you closing lines have terrific impact, alf

lynn, Wow, this is a very profound piece packed with excellent wordplay. I don't usually quote poems in my review (I prefer to view the whole piece as one entity) but of all the good lines this one jumped out at me: "I watch them spray the sun away" That line has a big impact in the piece, in my opinion. I'm saving this to my library. Thanks for sharing this with us. take care...dan

love that ending...because what is really real..."feelings are fickle" that is a truth...

i really like this poem...the only thing i shrugged my shoulders and shook my head at is the "u"--

want that to be "you" rather than the text language...

but a poem that makes us think about life today and how real or unreal it is.

ahhh I didn't even realize the short text U. Thank you jacob
