Living Fake Poem by kanav justa

Living Fake

Rating: 5.0


Of the deepest sorrow
Of every dollar that I borrowed
To the stars I take a vow
But but let me ask you now
What's wrong with an old shirt
and a bed sheet with some dirt.
Or a pillow that is elsewhere from its place
Or a filthy dry face
Scent of a socks that is old
some yellow stain that remind us of gold
And the holy waterfall, leaking from the tap
And the sound from a stomach that raps
Why should I appear to be clean
Dress up well and look a little mean
And then again I look at some star
To ask, , Why can't we be who we are?
Why can't we be who we are?

That is powerful. I loved the comparisons. Really the ways of old life compared with the ways of modern or I should say the life of child compared with the life of a so called social person.... I would say that shows simplicity, innocence and kindness. We can be what we are. Nice poem

I like the thinking behind this one. It's a lesson on the bare essentials and the dangers of taking the book by the cover. A genuine poetic outburst which is refreshing.10.

It is always commendable to accept ourselves as we are! But we have to be clean in appearance for our sake and for others sake! A neat appearance is preferred to an unkempt appearance. At the same time there is no need to be showy or extravagant about our dress or possessions just to impress others! A very practical view of life, different from that of ordinary youngsters!
