A fake friend ever unsuspectingly creeps up to pretend,
Under the noble skin of a reliable friend, a felonious fiend!
Oh! He does successfully his evil motives camouflage,
To fiddle and swindle, sticks on his face a fake badge!
Under the fake robe of friendship and reciprocation,
He counts his own chickens piling selfish acquisition!
He builds and erects for you reverie castles in the air,
He dupes as a Venus flytrap in his unobtrusive snare!
He feeds you full with many husky, illusory promises,
He assures you to fetch the Moon at night’s recess!
To pluck you the Sun, after day recedes and retreats,
With million, gullible pretexts, he later you greets!
But, little does he know: “Truth always prevails at last,
The fake and the pseudo perish, like bubbles, fast!"
* fiend – an evil or cruel person * felonious - antisocial
* fiddle - deceive * swindle – cheat
* Venus flytrap - a plant that feeds on insects and catches them by quickly closing its leaves when their surface is touched so that the insects cannot escape

Respected Shankar D Mishraji,Your poem titled'A Fake Friend'indeed is a poem of magnificent nature.You have rightly portrayed true nature and picture of a present day friend who are enemy in disguise in a stark manner.A friend in need is a friend indeed apparently should be the characteristic of a true friend.But in this fast moving ultra-modern era this definition has completely changed to a new shape and nature.Now a days he is the luckiest person who has a true friend.Yes,this truth.In your view a friend often pretends to be friend with narrow selfish gain.Such a friends are fake one who entice to fetch the moon at niggr Sky with his fingure tip.We need to keep thousands miles gap with such treacherous and felonious friend.
