One cannot be a friend

Whom power can mend.
 

One cannot be a friend
 Selfishness is whose end.
 
One cannot be a friend

On friends, who likes to depend.

One cannot be a friend

Whom money can bend.
 

One cannot be a friend

One’s hand, who cannot lend.
 

One cannot be a friend

Love is not whose trend.
 

One cannot be a friend

One’s ego who likes to defend,

One cannot be a friend.

Sure, he or she is a fiend.
