Photographs and Memories

In the photographs,
  times are submitted
    by the cameras and their
   phlegmatic blasé flashes ...
  They do not care
  with us...
  Wedding,
  graduations,
  picnics or portraits... 
  impressions
  taken to contradict
  appearances ...
    Flashes, selfs, intend
   capture moments ... but
   everybody lies...
   True mornings,
   sad afternoons ... but yes
   people laughing at the truth,
   or crying lies ...
   Mocking smiles appear,
   smiling faces, quibble ....
   Even the cheerful costumes,
   the fun colors only compose
   a buffoon theater ... when
   it should be Greek tragedy ...
   And life, so we wish to
  believe follows free ...
   But even children,
   that we desire to believe, are not
   authentic in the photographs ...
   And we travel on our
   own lives with light
   of our illusions, our
   visions not always so
    criticism ...
   And we always believe
   in realities that don't exist,
   no longer exist ... they are only
   ancient photographs taken
    in atmospheres that today
    we are told: we are the fake
    of our  current days ...!

Hello Alakas, when we look back at our photos we see how much we have changed. Sometimes we kike what we look like in the past and some of us do not. Salute my dear friend. Darlene.
