Illusion

Illusion It looks like what it is not It's not always what it seems All that glitters is not gold Though it's summer, some feel cold At the point dream meets reality Reality may become an illusion It leaves me blinded in oblivion Until I say my opinion We live in a world of illusion I've seen blind folks with vision Mirror images give lateral inversion Yet we admire the distortion The same way we love to brag Even when there's nothing in the bag O'er the board we nag Weakened by misfortune some sag On the pulpit mounts a humbug Tongue spitting gibberish Hallucination baptised as vision Ripping off his sole mission The more we look, the less we see The devil plays the Saint Bet not a cent In the darkness lies the truth Images in the head like kaleidoscope Flight of ideas sweet as honey Ecstasy sweeter than ****** 'Tis from grass; illusion
