Authentic Fake
Watch the paradox
In senseless streak,
Leap out-of-the-box
As de-tox now kicks.
Your ego-self primes
A hollow feel here,
Vain is not a crime
For this empty fear.
You change the story
In perplexing ways,
A touch most dreary
Frames your night and day.
Fake as fake knows when
In the humid heat,
Hot air rises then
In a fading feat.
So authentic fake
In self-styled charade,
A chameleon makes
Your own hit parade!
