Illusion

Most things in life have an element of illusion, and there are different levels of credibility..


Poem Artwork


 

Gold plating and marble

Above concrete, rust & roaches

Five-star-hotel


 

A posh bank plaza

Shines in the morning sun

Haha here goes your money


 

Bad breath at 5 am

Brittle makeup sleepy eyes

Hey supermodel!


 

Rings are exchanged, and a kiss

I love you forever

Statistically 4 five years


 

Elegant sports car

A promise for fun and joy

From a color-folded tin can


 

Steel towers above the city

Are symbols of power and pride


I rather walk in the forest



 

Good and bad things

Are face value only

And will return to dust


 

May love guide us

Honesty, diligence, patience

Through the abyss of life

Franz, you illuminated life's absurdities (fraud, one might call them) in such a clear, sharp way! 'Excellent' would be an understatement.

This is great and some people never see the warts or the temporary nature of things. I think I saw something about the first one on 20 20.

Poetry is destined to be the art form of our decade and this is proof of why that prediction was made.

I'd much rather walk in the forest, too, Franz. I think I've stayed at too many of those hotels you talk about in your first stanza; now I prefer a tent!

I love them all but that first one is the best, reminds me of Atlantic City, just a facade over an old face...Excellent to see you too, Franz...Peace, ED & Rufuz (Happy New Year)
