Turning A Stranger Poem by Santhosh Vijayakumar

Turning A Stranger



Alike are water and men.
Like water shifts,
And leaves no trace,
His colours lift,
And moves around place.

Better could be a chameleon.
Its colours change,
For natures sake,
But he does change,
To deceive and take.

It was like cream on the cake,
But now all turned fake.
He, who is a constant changer,
Will, soon himself turn a stranger.

I like a lot of the images you use, and rhymes too. esp the last 2 stanzas. It's a good poetic idea, comparing nature's chameleon to the human 'chameleons' who are simply fickle or hypocritical.
