~> Chameleons

Thad Wilk

Being me ain't all that

cool as you think.

My predators would

devour me before 

I could blink.

To blend in I change 

my appearance a lot.

Staying one step 

ahead of them 

is my only thought!

``

Humans seem to have

this similarity

just like me.

Always trying to hide

their true identity.

It's a fact Jack I see

it every day.

In the silly games 

that most people play!

They'll change their

colours in a heartbeat,

Just to get things their way~

    Some people pretend to be someone their not ..

    Not everyone is truthful or even fair enough in their ways

    But well .. nevermind

    I guess it’s their issue to sort out with themselves

    It’s not to do with us
    But to do whth them

    And maybe these people should seek some therapy

            Yellow is the principle color they take. Although some turn green with jealousy and don't rule out blue. A great poem

              I have known quite a few chameleons in my time Thad. Perhaps it is part of human nature. I think I prefer the little creatures found in the natural environment. They are far less complicated. I enjoyed your poem very much. Have a good weekend dear poet.

                Great poem...speaks truth. One changes color for survival, and the other changes color for less than, shall we say, wholesome reasons. What a metaphor. Well done, my friend! ❀️
