Or make believe 
To stated genius, either 
So help me God

'The consumer society is a mass murderer'
'We live in a make believe society'

resigned

Lord God Is Never Bored

I
Back home, I walk watering plants
Look to the hills, lifted up by His Hand
Busy painting another make-believe land
The hills, whence Help all evil supplants

Premium Member High Expectations

Finding love on the internet.
The world of fantasy and illusion.
Half truths lies and make-believe.
A gamble… a toss of the heart.
A crapshoot at best.

Fauseties and pleasures of life;
Lies and make-believe;
These make great SALES.

The forever truths of life 
Continue to be blown by the wind,
Forever SAILING across the seas of life.

Pizza Deliverance

Put your ear a little closer to the phone,
Make believe that you and I are all alone.
I want to see you so badly, that I sigh,
But if my pepperoni mozzarella pizza is cold again, you will cry.

Premium Member did you ever see him smile

he was not slow-witted
he was no-witted

no sense of humor
a story or joke annoyed him

he called make believe things a lie
did you ever see him smile?

not when I was around
which was not often

A Make Believe World

There is no getting away
From its reality.
We live in it! Nothing is
But first was foggy.

Sum of all our yesterday's
All our yesteryear's
Pined for, wished on new world's look;
Fulfillingly clears.

Bubbly Cheeks
Magical Flowers
Enchantment Speaks
Soft Kittens
Hugs and Cuddles
Kids love Rain
To jump in Puddles
Delight Flows
In Make Believe
Kids play pretend
Emotions seethe!

By-Product Of

by-product of
unconditional 
blindsided faith 
in the innate power
of bounds made 
through time
never able to see
that the feeling was
not mutual 
believed in the version 
of truth that was make believe

Children's books of worldwide acclaim
Whimsical humour in nonsense rhyme
Of childhood days in summertime-
Its acrostic brought Liddel's fame,
The story ending with Alice's full name

Living in the whimsical world of make-believe Above the clouds where joy and happiness are achieved The day to day hardships And struggles are skipped Replaced with sunny skies and joyous symphonies

Premium Member Paper Moon

The paper moon starts to glow
on a painted cardboard scene
when love truly starts to flow.
Now we know that you trust me,
I let the string puppets go
for an opening night's spree
beyond the play's make-believe.

Dorothy and her dog Toto collide
Up they go on a magic carpet ride
From Kansas home, they whirled
To a make-believe world
They were in Oz to find the other side
