Fake Crystals Poem by Hebert Logerie

These days fake is en vogue
Fake friend, fake love, fake hug
Fake diamond ring, fake crystals
Fake gold, fake silver, fake metals
Fake lights, fake glitters
Fake looks, fake flowers
These days fake is à la mode
Precious metals are like mud
It's hard to distinguish a fake
From the real thing, like a fake smile
Like a fake kiss around the lake
These days, it is hard to find great style
Sheer elegance in today's society
It is a shame, it is a pity
There is too much faking around
It would be nice to lose a pound
On a daily basis. Beauty is genuine
Value is priceless and love is not green.
