The Definition of Reality
Think your own thoughts,
and walk in the same shoes:
to never go astray
and wear a borrowed array;
be the definition of reality,
unflattered and discerned...
until your prize is earned
and the hardest lesson is learned!
If fairness was never denied,
and an injustice was easily remitted...
how would you lament
for something you refer to by sentiment?
You put anyone and anything down,
to raise yourself above them;
an unacceptable behavior...
sordidly to confer sorrow!
Sucked up by vanity,
every intention is manipulated by greed;
opulent and lofty...
not opposed to frivolity:
everything you perform is never achieved
by the definition of reality!
Trust your instincts endearingly
and act upon them accordingly;
many are impressed by a wealthier
and more congenial appearance by far...
crossing the forbidden line,
'till their fortress tumbles down!
Slightly concerned,
you suppress human kindness...
found in those who have less;
intoxicated by rage,
you aren't intrigued
by the definition of reality
and make an immediate change
into that lifestyle of iniquity!
