Piquant Dilemma

we feel limited
yet rebel not 
having adapted
to captivity
and so in our prison
we conjure scripts
hypnotising ourselves
into believing they’re real
and then live out our life
in a bubble of delusion

imaginary Gods
make belief devils
all created by us
become the Frankensteins
that now control us
and so in midst of abundance 
we yet choose to trauma bond
with ghosts we’re accustomed to

should we laugh
or cry
at our piquant dilemma
