POEM FOR ILLUSIONS
I
Everyone has them. But MRT (mind reading technology) smashes your illusions and leaves you with stark reality
But you say without your dreams you don’t want to live
II
You have to know what reality is
By traveling and meeting lots of people
You need to compare different places to know your own country
Some people just lie to each other
And call it reality enough for them
III
Spins…
People see reality differently
Some say reality is all an illusion
We all surround ourselves
In a bubble/illusion
Pretend we have the best
Of all possible worlds
But future people will laugh
About how obsessed we are with non-imaginable “reality”
A big joke
IV
In the fantasy video game cyber worlds of the future
They will claim they are living in reality
Layers and layers of depth to these “worlds”
One needs illusions to survive, can’t live without them
Reality is just a big joke
