They Pretend

Some boys pretend they are men And some girls pretend they are women, Some people pretend they are something they are not Just give that a quick look, and then thought. Some people pretend that they are brave and fearless And some people pretend they are bold and tearless, And some will pretend that with honor and pride But, only when they have a weapon at their side. Some people pretend that they are not greedy Some people pretend that they are not seedy, And those same people pretend they care and help But, all they care about is themself. Some people pretend that they are faithful And some people pretend that they are grateful, When unto them that question someone does ask But, they are always wearing a pretend mask. Some people pretend that they are a patriot Some people pretend that they are not an atheist, And these are the people pretending to care While they worship a man, and never believe in prayer. Some people pretend they are not racists Some people pretend to have caring faces, And these same people show their true colors All that they care about is their own race and no others. Some people pretend that they are a Christian Some people pretend that they care and listen. And some people act like they are your friend But, some people just like to always pretend. Randy L.
