Is Life An Illusion

Is life an illusion like a big screen TV with 3D
Could this all be just a Hugh play using us as actors
The Sun could be the light that brings this movie to life
The moon we once saw on TV was black and white

Water reflects color we have seen that in the rainbow
Our eyes are cameras and our minds record
Our mouths are speakers and our ears receivers
Our sense of smell brings life to these images

Our lifespan is short but things keep recording
Even after we are gone, the Earth is the odd ball planet 
All others are normal dead and floating through space
Are we here to entertain God so he does not get bored

Then die and go to heaven to receive our Emmy awards
Mankind has transformed what we are
Recreated it so we have our own entertainment 
Choose what you wish to believe for if you believe this story

You are dumber then me for we are not on a Big Screen Colored TV
Although this would make a great science fiction show

Life is the only game I know of all over the planet. We could perhaps love life more, if we recall, it's only a game. I gave up analyzing. I am too dense Panagiota

Love it! … Interesting idea that life is no illusion. Certainly can't argue with that certainly... I would only suggest that Life is not really 'Truth,' that what we think we see may well be illusory. Great food for thought, my friend. ~ gw
