I know nothing

2781

I know nothing but still I can see

 

Everything and everyone may not be who they be

 

I suspected this was true then an ad gave me a view 

 

An imaginary life projected to the masses 

 

Don't be absurd it just a few clicks and dashes 

 

I think I see why and still find it sad

 

To be lifted by something that you never had

 

Their on the stage showing their wears 

 

Out to impress the no ones that care

 

Contentment in life in the surreal 

 

It's a bit kooky I get the feel. 

 

Who am I 

I don't know 

I know I am a little slow 

 

Slipping up

Here and there 

Given a conscience 

Knowing I care 

 

How could I get it right 

Internal battles 

I must fight 

 

It might be trivial 

I don't know 

Am I fooling myself 

Is it all just a show 

 

 I'd be a coward to throw in the towel 

If I create my own burdens 

I weep and howl 

 

Do I stuff up

Is all the hurting 

Really a bluff

 

Are my intentions as they seem 

Like hidden emotions only a dream 

 

It's illusive to wonder how this can be

Who I am

Hatred and glee.

    The ads force their undesirable presence upon us, as if to punish us for utilizing this forum in the ethereal. Like gnats or mosquitos or worse they frustrate. Lovely tribute!

        I enjoyed that - however I feel sure that you have all the filters in place to survive propaganda , whatever its source.

          I am okay. I feel for this generation, previous generations got sold crap but at least it was tangible.

          • Doggerel Dave

            🤣'solid crap' - crap it was, but at least it was solid!!🤣 Going to remember that!

            Amendment (back later) misread 'sold' for 'solid' - leaving it....!
