Nothing Here Is What It Seems

Soon you'll awake and see 
nothing here is as it seems,
all of this is an illusion
it’s time to awaken from your dreams;
I'm going to count to three
then you must open your eyes
I hope that when you do
you can see through these lies.
To the things man called love
those hand-made words have no meaning
an invention of desperate minds
crazed human dreaming.
Such a thing can't be real
don't fall victim to the bigot and his fairytale 
can't you see it doesn't exist?
To perfect for such a world, soon it will wax you pale
take this life that flows through us
and murder us, with a thing called love.

Yes ... don't fall victim to the bigot and his fairytale ... it comes out of you when you don't even know (the old mythic theme I mean), it is writing you out, be careful what you touch ... a thirsty man cannot drink his gold. Good, good, good! Love.

Smile, "Oh Madison, I Finally Get To Meet You!!?"~I have been looking forward to this actually; since I caught Your wonderful comment upon my last write!!~But I am not somsure that love is quite that hopeless dear lady!?~Yet I loved the way that You rolled this out; this introspective thought of Yours....And all I can say, is that I hope that when "You" awaken, "Love" has got "You" bound tightly within its arms!!!:):)~Let me go view another of "Your" writes dear Madison~For I enjoyed this one...
