A Friend

A friend is alone now, very solemn in praise of himself,
Finding work and searching for help in strong conversation;
He is now alone again, forcing the help of others as well
By being absent, by being and doing all the employment of material.
A friend must interact for reasons and decisions must be made
Like a manager of life who improves life outwardly and inwardly,
It is better to cast away the souls of people and learn forever.
I am a friend, not enemy of yours, still I am not your victim,
However much you worry and tease me.
The friendship is certain as carrots can snap, as bravery is definite
When courage has been present, with hatred is the answer of the foe.
