I hear that some of you
Refer to me as your friend
Please don’t do that
Because it’s not true
I have relatives and parents
I have acquaintances and colleagues
I even have seniors and juniors
But I don’t have friends
If you want to call me your friend
You will first have to be my friend
And I will have to be your friend too
Till that happens
(If it does)
Please stop calling me your friend
Those who anyway don’t
And certainly won’t
Can please ignore
They will
Anyway
Won’t they?
