What in my life's vocab is the greatest SIN of all?
My answer is inSINcerity among humans, especially those who call thee "f(R)iend"?
I have traversed this writer's path for some 30 plus years, and often friendsghip boils down to this TEST: Is that person sinCERE?
When I spelt the word in the UpperCase, it is meant to highlight the NEGATIVE; in the lowercase, it shows the normal human form where there is not doubt about it -- the question of honesty and goodwill towards one's comrade.
Those who have experienced the ups and downs of Life would easily grasp what I mean. For others, be patient and learn...
A mainstream paper columnist recently wrote, in tandem with a Sage's observation, that one would be lucky if you've gained in your lifetime a number of friends to equal the fingers in one hand. Hence I'm doubly blessed till now -- I think I can count up to a number maximised by the number of fingers in BOTH hands. I hope before I whispered my last breath, I would be triply or quadruply BLESS'D -- pray to God I do -- have proceeded to count the toes down there!
Meanhwiile,I spopil thy mood and peroceed to the Other Pole from Friendship -- drop the "r" and you'll comprehend -- here goes another ranting in Verse:
I Can't Stand
I can't stand his voice
Mouthing holiness without damned conviction
I can't stand his gestures
Patronising and agonisingly goofish
I can't stand his boastful tales
Self-promoting his own concoction
But most of all I can't stand
His back stabbing behind a smile
I guess I can stand
When he suffers jaw cramp
And his hand movements cease
And his voice falls silent
Yes, I will jump with ecstasy
When even the mirror
Cracks in horror
When the Moron takes a breather
To ask admiringly:
Am I the greatest of 'em all?
