Fake Is True

Look around yourself
The world is fake
Each worries about their own morsel
Fake are the promises they make

Fake are the smiles
Fake is the care
Fake is the  'together we'll go miles'
Fake is the  'world is not so fair'

Emotions are fake
Trust is fake
Promises are fake
Relationships are fake

Masked are faces
Hiding the facts
Leaving no traces
Using all tacts

Happy are those
Who smile at all
Its good that they chose
To abide by God's call

The secrets are deadly
The love is risky
The friends are few
The enemies somehow grew

All is done for a reason
I have to say-beware
Compromise is the season
But don't you your dream spare

In today's world, 
The trend is new
Its not the word
Its the fake...that's true.
