Sonnet: Most Things Are Fake

And everywhere, Life proves to be quite fake;
The love in human circles is not true;
The affection 'tween siblings, sense doesn't make;
The talented, rewards don't get that’s due.

And glamour steals the show where beauty fails;
The made-up face is glorified on screen;
Just unfit heros, heroines, world hails,
The handsome lad, beauteous lass is unseen.

And milk has water more than milk itself;
The world employs most fraudulent methods;
And men want power, position and pelf;
Gone are the days of pure and inbred herds;

Most things in life and money seems a fake;
Show me one unpolluted River/lake?
