Fake Friends


Hey brother, 

How are you today?

When are we going out?

Talk, laugh, and play. 

 

Yo broth,

How's it going too?

I'm ready when you are.

Let's make an appointment soon. 

 

Did you get that thing,

What I mentioned before?

Yes its coming,

Next week, you know the score. 

 

Cool, this is good.

How much do I owe you now?

Let's call it, tell you what, 

How about 50 bags of sand. 

 

You what broth, no way,

How come it's that?

Price has gone up,

Customer's will flap. 

 

Broth, bills to pay,

That is that. 

You know how it is,

Things are stacked. 

 

Ok cool,

It is what it is,

Still brothers,

Until the end.

 

That's right,

Until the big man,

Wants us upstairs,

I got your back,

 

Cool, How about we go away?

Where you got in mind?

Thailand, just like before.

Lots of girl's to be taken from behind. 

 

Yeah sounds good to me.

I just need to earn some dough. 

How about I give you more things?

Keep you stocked up, so you know. 

 

Not so sure broth,

It's a jungle out there.

To be loaded up,

With so much gear,

 

Come on man,

Call it a favour,

Like the time you asked before,

Do you remember?

 

Yes of course I do broth,

But it was a different time,

Feds are everywhere,

I don't want to do any time. 

 

Ok no worries for now,

Give me a shout,

When you want,

To go out. 

 

How about next Saturday?

Boxing show

Can get VIP tickets.

When you know you know. 

 

I'll give you a shout,

Think I've got a wedding that day.

Misses cousin's half brother,

Family, always the way.

 

Cool, no worries broth.

I get it too.

Misses says, We can't go out that day,

Need to see it through. 

 

Broth, got to go,

Let me know,

If you need,

Some more. 

 

Yes will do,

I'll give you a shout,

My brother,

No doubt.

WestLondonMan

Like a lot of us been through shitty parts in my life. In 2018 I was living in London, attending a part time acting school. It was a great time. Also I was presenting at an event, one of the tutors at the acting school took me under his wing and mentored me. Part of that process he taught me how to write poetry, or at least express myself through it. Now, I write a poem every day, I write for a hobby. I've had a varied career, the only thing I can say is writing is the best things I've ever done. I absolutely love it. Have got 14 publications on a short story website and launching my own website in December 2022, http://www.PeterGreenhall.com Feel free to add any comments. I hope you enjoy reading my poems as much as I enjoyed putting them together.
