Baptism by fire
Or funeral pyre The personality evolving
whilst true characters
Remain static
Under the microscope
Staring at slides
Chemical warfare
Petri dish cultures
Where nothing can hide
The ebb and flow from
strangers to best friends
Machiavelli movements
Practices sleight of hand
Subterfuge
Subtweeting
Secret invite only
Side accounts
What was the purpose
Fake flabby friendships
Not the stuff of sliced bread
Complaining of lives
we know nothing about
Sharing our judgements
Our real selves just slipped out
The sun and the moon
Echo body filled waves
Water the cleansing
Of The spiritual ways
Bound by the teachings of Sunday’s best stories
Loading the fakeness
Crass fake glories
Observing the seasons
Spring flowers blossom
The autumn leaves turn
Rain filled gutters swirl flotsam
Love dies on the vine
Hearts turn to ice
Snow laden footsteps
Crushed beneath boots
Friendships now fodder
For ample untruths
