Villanelle Nr.04 — Wildest Dreams

No, nothing’s truly as it seems        
despite what you’ve been told to think        
it’s way beyond your wildest dreams        
        
the modern world is stuffed with memes        
which float around and interlink        
and nothing’s truly as it seems        
       
the media gobs amazing scenes        
that make you rub your eyes and blink -      
it’s way beyond your wildest dreams        
       
and if you check the stats and beans        
it won’t add up, it’s out of sync        
for nothing’s truly as it seems        
       
and everywhere you look it steams        
with lies, corruption - smell the stink -      
it’s way beyond your wildest dreams.      
       
And those who run this foul regime?      
They really should be in the clink        
for nothing’s truly as it seems        
it’s way beyond your wildest dreams.
