People! ! ! Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

Do you think you know people?
When you are successful
They call on you!
They associate with you! !
They even praise you! ! !
Alas! You are not the one in their eyes!
It is the success they call on, associate with and/or praise!
Wait till you experience failure!
They will avoid you!
They will dissociate with you! !
They will call you names! ! !
Alas! Then you will know that you are not the one that is important!
It is what you are that makes you important! ! ! ! ! ! !
