PLEASE SHOW ME THE REAL YOU

REALITY

"Please tell me all
about you," I asked
a lady I'd just met.
She replied, "Do
you want the truth
about the real me or
the sales version?"
REAL!
What, in our deceptive
world of make-believe,
is REAL? Who knows anymore?
From the phony ripoff brands,
to the play-actors on
dating sites...the real
world of real people has
been lost in the pretend
and make-believe world
of "glitz and glitter" of
"It's from a jar.
People lie about their
qualification, skills, and
accomplishments in life.
Most human beings have
lost realness--the ability
to be seen in the naked truth.
A General was asked,
"Sir, how do you wish to
be painted"? He replied,
"Warts, moles, scars, and all."
REAL!
Oh, to find a real soul, heart,
honest, and free person who
isn't afraid to be
REAL.
Are you REAL?
