In modern garb, a Brutus we find

Friendship feigned, with secrets entwined

They know our hearts, our deepest fears

And befriend our foes, through joy and tears

 

With politics, they weave their might

Influencing lives, day and endless night

Their words, a poison, subtle and cold

Backstabbing trust, our bonds to unfold

 

They hide their sins, behind a veil

Pointing fingers, others to assail

Their betrayal cuts, like a knife so fine

Leaving scars, that forever will shine

 

Their legacy, a tale of deceit

A lesson learned, in friendship's defeat

Beware, dear hearts, of those who pretend

For in their smiles, a hidden end.

 

2

If I seek friendship with him, I need eyes moist with sincerity

I'm searching for ecstasy, just one casual glance is enough

 

The noise in the city is increasing, now I crave some silence

Friendship turned into enmity, I need some prior warning

 

The fire that extinguishes my heart's passion, I need that final cup

In this world, there are many humans, but I need someone genuine

 

Why has darkness settled here? Now, I need some light

We're not apart, but a visible distance is necessary

This world is temporary, 

I'm willing to sacrifice my life for the hereafter
