Paper tigers all.

Edthepoet

Do you think?
You really think anything?
Until the time you can realise
What it means to tell a lie
To spare the tears of your bride...

Do you know?
I mean really know anything?
Until you realise you can time
A lie to mean the difference
Between hope and the death of life..

And can you..
show me the difference at all
Between the greatest fool of them all
And the paper tiger stood tall...
And do you
know what it means to be a king?
Compared to the falseness of instagraming
Can you tell me the difference please
Between the greatest sight of your life
And a picture of it online
Can you taste the smell in the air
Even though you're not there
It's a sad sorry state of affairs
You've seen everything but you've been nowhere
It's a sad sorry state of affairs
You reach out to touch but it dissappears
Its a sad sorry state of affairs
You try to hear but it's not clear
It's a sad story state of affairs
You take a bite but the taste is unfamiliar 
Its a sad sorry state of affairs
You've seen everything but you've been nowhere.
