Poem Commentary

This is for those who have bogus friends. Friendship based on what you can give to them. They are not true friends in most cases. Users!

Stop Showing Off Yourself Girl.

Don't walk on my back to reach where you're going girl,

Think you are that so big, and the biggest thing in this world?

We were great friends and so cool together, 'till you found that stupid job,

Please don't think you are so different, for I use to pick up all your tabs.

 

Suddenly you're this big, big thing and you've become so high,

That if we're having an little chat like old times it seems I have to fly?

To reach your height upon the pedestal that you have placed yourself,

Never mind that guy you've got will stack you on a shelf.

 

You think because of your big job you are up in society?

Don't be stupid little girl just go and leave me be!

I have been there before and sure I know myself,

I know if you lose your job, you become just like a little elf.

 

Now you start to party and drink from early night 'till late

And so you start to gamble too, and throw away your faith?

All the money spent in bars and in the casino

All you have is an empty purse and nothing else to show?

 

You'll return to your former size, when there's no cause to exalt,

Especially when you start to blame and say who is at fault,

When your job is pulled away and your friendships start to shrink,

And you start to pawn your gold and prized coats made of mink.

 

You may become humble and discover who your true friends are,

When they start to 'diss' you, such friendships don't go far,

Especially when you lose your car and start taking the bus,

They'll dis-appear quickly, one by one and without any fuss!

 

Hey big shot girl! It seems that I've prophesied !

Where the pretty clothes you had last week and the car keys?

Where's the car? You look so filthy! Are you taking crack?

Get away with your dirty self, oh that chinky smell, step back!!!

 

Go and get a shower at the nearest public bath,

And let us have a conversation, talking heart to heart.

You'll never cease to learn life's lessons the toughest of life's ways,

This time I hope my counsel helps, so be humble, think and pray.

I tell you, I purposely placed a little drama in this because people do not value true friendship anymore. My Daddy feed an entire street when he was alive. He clothed and fed strangers and when he was sick, very few people showed up to visit him, that is my testimony.

That is funny but it ain't supposed to be.. I have the same problems with all my so called friends and in the end they will be alone and without a home. When they come to you after you stop living in your car cause you paid for them to go to the bars you can just say sorry and walk away.. That's what I'm hoping to do someday! My dad has always said you will be lucky if you have 1 true friend till the very end.. My experiences in life that is only partly true because you realize the harsh truth and beleive God is the only one who will ever love you... Which is still hard to accept even that proven fact.... live and learn face the facts and don't look back!

This poem remind me how people can get caught up in what this world calls success. The real treasure is true friends. I love your original authentic style of writting.

this is an awesome poems sometimes we just have to learn the hard way; we get lost and caught up and forget who we are when something good comes our way. we just have to remember as easy as God gave it to us, he can just as easy take it all back. excellent good hear.

Thanks dahlusion, we must cherish our true friends no matter what. They are the people who will show care often, even when family do not.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
