Deception
Life's naught but a dream to some
Nightmare to others

All is not as it seems
Everything's as certain, sacred
Forever as desired to be

Or is it?

Sleight of hand

Out of sight, out of mind
Comic yet tragic
Like movie magic

The image that pleases
Stranger than fiction
Our plastic addiction

Enhancements
Distort the naked truth
Made up to appeal to mindless eyes

Who walk over skulls
To buy the lies


Mind over matter
All this can be yours
Including the blame


Sleight of hand
Out of sight, out of mind

Comic yet tragic
Like movie magic
No image displeases


Believer
On the wings of a dream

While silently sleeping
Like a brain in a jar
On a shelf

In a lab
Silently, your secret we're keeping
