If you're committed to online dating, be sure to look for something a little beyond looks. Looks are only one thing; they are not everything. You can love someone's looks, but you certainly can't fall in love with their looks. Even if you're only looking for something as casual as sex, you can't possibly agree to meet a total stranger after one long glance at their pictures.

Expect something. Expect anything. But do not expect looks to match what you see online.

We have waited long in patience, Hoping against hope they are cool, But it has turned to pure impatience, When they treat us as if fools, And take our seeming calm compliance, As if a tacit, if dumb, approval, When it is a menacing angry quiet, Merely awaiting their removal.

It is criminal to deliberately lie, To those who trusted you their future, To take away their blue skies, To leave a wound without a suture, To paint a glorious valhalla sunset, After an epic adventure so exciting, To promise that we will all get, Whatever we would take delight in, To prey even on our very dreams, And whisper they can be fulfilled, Telling us to trust in what it seems, To partake in what is billed, And weave a talismanic illusion, Wrapped in candy floss by elves, Which has now slipped into confusion, As we slowly realised ourselves, That reality is as it always was, But while we were in there dreaming, He was trying to make Himself a God, He was lying and He was scheming, Thankfully now we are awakening, Whilst He is into disintegration, We will have to try to rebuild, What He has left us of our nation, The cruelty is in fostering, Of a future in a golden land, He has ruined via his posturing, He has trampled on our plans He had promised us Houdini like, A miraculous escape from strife, But after great illusionist, Life here is still life.
