Alluding Illusion

Tell me a truth.
I'll tell you a lie.
I will not oblige to tell you the reason!
Why?

Deception is the greatest truth.

Deception is simplicity.
Black and white picture,
seemingly beautiful.
Close to perfection.
To the unobservant eye.

Appearing to connect,
In a sympathetic nature.
Embodying an illusion.
Alluding to the truth...
Avoiding depth.
in many shades of grey...
