Shallow Friendship Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

People need people
as no one is an island
man lives in symbiosis
others survive like parasites

Friendship is a good thing
as long as it stands unconditional
but it becomes most abuse relationship
whom many use it for self-aggrandizement

People has ulterior motives
which differ from each individual
whether or not a person is a true friend
is difficult to determine in a short span of time

Friends come too easy sometimes
when life you have is in good times
but when you lost something special
then friends began to leave one by one

A friend who always ask for something
has nil to spare when you needed a thing
for he can not give you back without a barter
is a person who act as friend when you have to offer

A true friend is someone who ask nothing but your presence
a person who enjoys your company even when you are down
and console you to give you inspiration to keep moving onwards
who stays beside you always even when you have nothing to give
