A True Friend

Blue car, white car, plastic fish on the back
Friendship based on faith and love, not sex and crack
A soap opera in motion, outsiders like vultures
Trying to listen in like a polarizer killing cultures
The writer looks in and wonder what’s up
He finds the answer, it’s an empty cup

The counselor speaks like an aged sage
He complains about not having a living wage
The physician battles the matriarch
Over things small and not at all stark
The scribe jots his thoughts
He doesn’t connect the obvious dots

Life is changing at a fleeting pace
Someday soon we finish the race
Two in a church not before the altar
One in a temple hoping priests will falter
Counselor and Physician wonder if eros exists
Scribe tries to extinguish eros before it twists

A wise man wrote there is a time and a place
He also wrote that a pair is better than an ace
The winds of change blow from every way
But don’t let them bring you dismay
Keep them close, keep them safe
That is what a true friend makes

cool write..

"The counselor speaks like an aged sage
