There is nothing left to surprise... <br />Unless eyes have been closed, <br />To ignore false realities... <br />Resting still in accepting disguise! <br /> <br />And used as props, <br />To mask more lies! <br /> <br />One would have to visit a hypnotist, <br />To avoid a world that now exists! <br />With criticisms blindly thrown... <br />By those who sit on 'thrones' condoned! <br /> <br />Providing a comforting existence known, <br />To the ones who feel... <br />Too much truth is crude and rude to reveal. <br />Wounding to inflict and can not heal, <br />Conformed minds confined in fantasies concealed. <br />And disturbing an addiction, <br />That overwhelmingly appeals! <br />Boosted with zest and confessing zeal.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
