The Land OF Illusion

in Blockchain Poets2 years ago (edited)

I wrote this for BCP Prompt - Time, a weekly prompt to get the creative juices flowing.

Sit back and enjoy the musings of an old man passing the time away on a Saturday.. running on 45 cups of java and zero sleep! 😂

Sometimes you feel like a nut.. and sometimes you don't.. LoL

So let's get it goin on shall we?


The Land Of Illusion

There is no reason for the rhyme
We are all just living doing time
Inside the box performing pantomime
Imbeciles unwise to the actual crime

We are trapped in the land of illusion
Six sides squared where no one is spared
All that we see and feel is just delusion
Forsaken in darkness ensnared and scared

Acting like sheep we are in too deep
Little Bo Peep is just a fucking creep
Left us all alone to chase our own tail
Captured solo awaiting final coffin nail

You must connect the dots before you rot
It's all make believe and it's all maya
Cancel the contracts don't take the shot
Waiting on a shepherd makes us the pariah

Alone we're born and alone we shall die
Love is evol and it forever waits in lie
The journey through time is tribulation
Cellmates of like mind is your salvation

Shed your tears and cling to laughter
Embrace the inner spark until the after
