Dual Identity #Poetry

There are people
in this world
who wear two masks
on their face,
who will tell
good things about you
in front of you
and tell
bad things about you
to others
behind you.

They have
no mercy.
No matter
how well you behave,
if you make progress,
they will criticise you
and try to harm you.

They have
a crab mentality.
“If I can’t have it, neither can you.”

Just as crabs,
they pull
each other down,
They do not
progress themselves
and do not
allow others
to progress.

If you wear
simple clothes,
they will
discredit you
and if you wear
expensive clothes,
you will be
disrespected.

They
are found
everywhere
and have
a dual identity.
