Fake Reality (Posted 1/21/2017)
tisk, tisk, tisk…
maybe I’m just crazy
wasting my time in a cyber world
caring for imaginary frenemies
giving yet not given in a fAkE rEaLiTy!
people who don’t know me
feel the need to judge me
stand so tall against me
behind a computer screen
where has all the sanity gone?
turning away from an army of avatars
anger, pain, sadness, greed
are real even in a fake reality
commoner to a prophet
seeking to save the world
insisting that everyone is wrong
but where are your credentials?
fighting for false deities
swearing they care for you and me
well I guess all things are possible
in bIzArRo WoRlD!!
down is up and up is down
cheering on insanity
shunning the artistry
love, happiness, friendship, need
are real even in a fake reality
how does it go?
…oh, that’s right!
it’s all just mental masturbation
feeding a fantasy
holding on to lost dreams
disconnect with each word said
then coming back like you're born again
the price is harsh for pandora's box
so much vain entitlement
people throwing you under the bus
but I won’t deceive you
not gonna tell you all my truths either
that’s what the sane people do
in a fake reality

Awesome piece, so much truth in your words. The bold capital / undercase parts really work.
