A world full of fakeness
And everything in between
Smiles, gestures, words & more
I have seen it all
Nothing is real anymore
Not one thing at all
Strangers, acquaintances, friends & family too
Don't know who or what to believe
Or whom is out to get whom
The good times of yesteryear are memories at best
The good times of today are the fakest yet
The good times of the future we wish we could hold near
Paranoid, delusional, it's all in your head
Nobody would say or do anything like that
That's the fakest thing that you have ever said
A world full of fakeness
And everything in between
Smiles, gestures, words & more
I have seen it all
Nothing is real anymore
Not one thing at all

A poem that many can identify with. Not so sure it is only today, I remember when linoleum replaced wood floors, when formica replaced tile and granite. I remember when false words were said to preserve feelings, so they say. I remember when hugs turned to a pat on the back, now a stab. Today everything is plastic, digital when we used to write with ink on paper but once they wrote on stone. Maybe it is my perception but fake today is an extension of what has been fake for a long time. A lovely write with which I identify
Thank you for the kind words
Most welcome
A nicely crafted write, in a world that everything appears to be now fake, fakeness has always been there but today it seems the norm, nicely written
Thank you for the kind words and taking time to read my work
You are very welcome
