Whose Reality - For Contest

Whose Reality

Reality is the new
fantasy
of perception
as reality.

It matters not
what is seen.
What matters is the
perception
of what is seen.

Every observation
must be “photo-shopped”
through the lens
of desired perfection.

It matters not
what is said.
What matters is the
perception
of what is heard.

Every word
must be sanitized,
cleansed in the acid
of political correctness.

It matters not
what is done
Each action
will be examined
for intention.

Judgment will be passed in the
silent darkness of inaction.
Reality laid to rest
at the feet of 
perception’s
fantasy
