Masquerade



We all live in a fake world...
Almost everything is just an illusion, non-existent and unreal..
It´s nothing but a mirage....a place of make-believe where
the majority  we rub elbows with is wearing a mask
How impossible it is to unmask this iron-cast mask of pretenses!!
--so difficult that hyperbolly speaking we would need an x ray device
 to see beyond and fathom who they really are behind that mask...
Everything is not always what they seem....
and much to our  chagrin, it is not a case of ``what you see is what you get´´
Not everyone who smiles at us  likes us
Not everyone who pays us a compliment  admires us
Not everyone who pats us  on the back wants  nothing in return and
Just because they offer a helping hand doesn´t mean they are really sincere...
Sad but true, it is  merely a world  of barter, where almost  everyone is regarded  as  a commodity
a place  where one´s vested interests prevail.......we  are worthy, if we have  soemthing to offer
 and if we  don´t, we are nothing but  a piece of crap in their eyes...
In short, no one really gives a damn  about our real   worth as a person ... we  are simply regarded as their ``needs´´ like every commodity in a capitalist market..and that´s a crying shame!!
Let´s not be foolish to believe that everything is real..
It would be gullible of us if we do...
In this masquerade world  of pretenses, the least thing we could do is to go with the flow and
play our cards well....I may sound pessimistic, but It would be a futile hope to believe that one day it will change..a masquerade world will remain a masquerade world.... and as the cliche goes `` if you can´t  beat ém , join ém´....
