illusion

as i juxtapose the metaphors
an corroborate the lies
i think the reality i profess to seek
is the illusion i hide behind

i've seen so many things
that make me wanna lose my mind
but hidden from the truth i see
that i remain quite blind

the dilution of our so called culture
magnified by the vision
manifests itself in false acceptance
or the politics of religion

we wear the mask like a badge of honor
our protection from reality
armored fantasy cocoon shells
the diversion from banality

illusion makes the world go 'round
nobody wants to see
the artificial lives they lead
the puppets they choose to be

as i juxtapose the metaphors
an corroborate the lies
i think the reality i profess to seek
is the illusion i hide behind
