In A False World.

Clouds slice into the sky

False gashes that stretch

Causing synthetic tears to be cried.

These clouds do not rain

They only pollute

Spewing from the throats of cars and planes

Obscuring the sky's immortal stars from view.

False artists begin to sketch,

Causing synthetic ink to be spilt

Their masterpieces do not speak,

They only salute.

Only giving a hello, an acknowledgement, never a question.

Never a whisper, "I'm afraid" or "I wish I would fade."

Just alluring everyone who sees them.

Lines cut into paper,

These lines do not rain.

The clouds still slice into the sky

Synthetic tears continue to ooze from eyes

A smile is a great disguise

As is a splash of puffy white

Against a canvas of blue.
