Illusion

---

It is so easy
To create an illusion
Telling the truth
Is not always an option

It is so obvious
To deny the situation
Fantasize a story
And sell it as fiction

In a clear empty sky
With no drop of rain
Draw some alluring clouds
And the facade will sustain

To whisper in a friend’s ear
You might feel an urge
Cast a spell of tolerance
Let your desire submerge

For when you walk
You create your own path
Stand alone you must
To face destiny’s wrath

It is so simple
To create a bewitching world
Where hopes sing and dance
Through life be whirled

To create an illusion
Is but a common task
The happiest faces today
Are nothing but a mask
