Some will never get it,
Never understand that which we seek,
Accusations, clinging, jealousies,
They are the ones who are weak.

And they forget the little things,
That make a difference in one's life,
Music, words, laughter and love,
Mother Nature, the sea, Heaven above.

They try to fit in,
They pretend to understand,
Living in falacy,
Pretense by their own hand.

Feigned interest and sympathy,
They are fooling themselves,
They refuse to see,
The goals we've set, the realities that be.

I'm big hearted enough,
To wish them love and luck,
Peace and true inner discoveries,
But I fear they'll always fail and in a sense be stuck.

No answers to their questions,
No inner light burning so strong,
Wondering why their lives turned out this way,
Wondering where they went wrong.

So my prayer is simple,
Everyone who pretends should have their day,
When the realise all truths and injustices,
When they embrace true inner happiness and it's ways.

Exactly Sea!  But in my scenario a few people don't even realise that they are these 'fakes', they don't 'see' anything, especially in themselves.  
And I'm big enough to feel sad for them, for they are missing so much..
Thanks for responding

Great Poem Isis,

Too many people in my home town are fake...and it is sad.  But oh well, their loss.

daniel

 The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Exactly Daniel   Their loss throughout their lives, and dismal lives they must be at that!!

They can't see the light that burns
In their soul each day
Their fake facade is blowing out
The fire that lights the flame
Wounded by a world their living in
Where nothing's pure or right
Living in the dark
Not even seeing their own light!

Great job Isis!  How right you are! What do you think of my rendition?  

Joy

 Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules
Do you care what is thought by others about you
If this day is all that is promised to you
Do you live for the present, the future the past...

Excellent, my friend. . .

There are indeed those who cannot see. . . we must pity them, but we must also help them. . . this is a good start. . .
