Fantasies

Fantasies will cause one deception
yet save anothers life.
So how are we to know,
when the time is right?
To take hold of our dreams
and merge it with reality?
If we wait too long,
will we loose grip of our sanity?
Will life become meaningless?
Will we be drug into our fantasies?
Where all was well 
and things happened as we pleased?
Will we forget who we are
and be lost to the world?
Will loved ones help?
Or will they too be lured?
Into their own fantasies.
And if this were to continue to happen?
What of the rest of the world?
What would happen then?
Mankind would be lost.
Nothing left of our precious race.
Oblivious to reality,
drawn into the fantasy craze.
No one left to save them.

It's all too easy to get caught up in alternative realities these days, computers have alot to answer for.
