We all have
our dreams but so many
of those dreams are shattered
because the world
isn't what it seems
as everybody has their
own little schemes.

No one is real
but we all are the same
just with different names
and either part of the have's
or part of the have not's
or one of the many
in betweens.

This is the world
that we live in and things
will never change
because the rich get richer
and the poor get poorer
so all we can do is
open the door and try to get
some more of what society
says we need to make
that dream come
true.

So we try
and we lie to ourselves
and everybody else
and end up being
not what we
really seem so we can
live that dream                                    Jon   York    2012
