REALITY OF THIS WORLD

Braggarts and bimbos,
Make good company.
Fools and flatterers,
Become great friends.
The naive and the gullible,
Are attached for life.
But the true and the wise,
Always pay a heavy price:
Like Joan of Arc, Randall Wallace,
Burnt and bled by cutlasses.
Such is the reality of this world,
You give a rose, a spear is hurled!
