Fakes

I welcome challengers of my view

Some people love lies

They live by cheating others

World is ruled by fakes

Witty senryu.

This world is ruled by fakes...

I agree with the other reviewer here, that we're all fakes, even when we are trying to not be.

Lie/Cheating is a sin. Sometimes, we do it to ourselves unconsciously...by believing in false hopes. Even to ourselves we become fakes.

Thank you very much,Dhaye.
I don't have enough words to reply your well crafted review.
I just congratulate you and appeal to you for trying to hate lies.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Actually, I have mentioned that I hate lie in a line of this poem of mine...

If you are talking politics...I couldn't agree more.

[zainul]

No politics at all.
You can rest assured.

Thank you, Des for the wonderful review.
You have added a very meaningful word, "mask" which is appreciated.

I agree with your thoughts zainul. History books show us that sometimes the world is ruled by fakes. Also anthropology or sociology or psychology, or philosophy, etc.
But I would change the first line. I don't think they love lies, they are heartless, they use lies and other people. I would say : Some people learn to lie.
But again my version is too pessimistic, yours has a little humor.
Let's say Some people hang on lies

Thank you Cristina for the lovely review.
I am also very happy for using your right to change as you wish.
I honor your liberty.

You've given us another good thought to ponder.

Aren't we all fakes to one degree or another?

What I might find good and genuine may not appear to be so to another. And if so, does the blending between their two thoughts become right... or wrong?

I can agree with your premise to a certain point... and I can agree with Zainab UF, also. Both of you are correct. There are cheaters. And, there is goodness alive, also.

Perhaps it is up to each individual to find a good everyone would agree upon.

The study of good, should also study the bad... to know the difference.

Thank you, Michael for the wonderful review.
Your judicious points are helpful for everybody.

[Michael G.]

Thank you for giving us a place to post these thoughts.

[zainul]

I get your friendly indulgence.
Thanks for the favor.

[Zainab UF]

I wouldn't say the world is ruled by fakes. True, corruption and trickery and betrayal is increasing, but those are the things that make headlines, which is why we feel that the world is deteriorating. Goodness is still alive in the world; we just don't see it often.

And a wonderful poem, as always. :)

Thank you, Zainab for the wonderful review.
Thanks also for differing with my view.
I would consider this a survey for determing the degree of domination by fakes in various spheres of life.
The findings may be interesting to all.
