Pretty Fantasy

PRETTY FANTASY Life didn’t promise anything in anything Yet, man always sought to have everything in everything Reality got so real; people got scared to face reality Many have many big dreams in few sleeps a night Many are even dreaming when they are not sleeping Sweet dreams of a better future in a bad present The ugly man got so handsome in his dreams and got married to a pretty lady Before too much was enough; he woke only to stare at his ugly wife and his ugly self He built many mansions and owned estates in his dream When he woke up; his landlord already has an eviction notice pasted on his door. Life of everything in everything is everything It happened that everything in everything wasn’t everything Therefore, man was forced to make do with few things around The insatiable few refused to make do with the few things They sought few ways to satisfy their need for everything The fantasy must get real; they planned days and nights to get a plan Mid way in the tunnel; they thought they saw a light of consolation No need to keep on crawling in the tunnel; they have seen what they seek They stuck to the light and refused to reach the end of the tunnel; then walk out They refused to leave the tunnel and became victims of the earthquake of the tunnel. My reality confessed to be in love with me She promised to be faithful to me if only I will accept her She wasn’t that bad; she would make a good wife I would have loved to marry her but am still in love with my fantasy I was forced to choose between reality and fantasy My fantasy on her own wasn’t bad at all; she was so pretty I always dream of her even when am not sleeping; thinking of her daily I fantasized of her so much; I almost became obsessed with my fantasy I wasted so much time in choosing between reality and fantasy Reality got impatient; she struck me a blow that cleared my pretty fantasy.
