             (The Perils Of A) Selective Reality


I live a fucking great life when all is said and done,
I suffer no great hardships, and have shitloads of fun.
I'm always well looked after (and always have been too)
And I'm a friend to many, like for example, you!

I revel in creative things (and create a bit myself)
And go to many places (though with insubstantial wealth!),
The 'work' I do is minimal, though I'm working all the time
(The hardest thing I have to do is find another rhyme!)

I often gaze on beauty, though never for too long,
I give respect where its deserved, I do know right from wrong.
I know I'm really lucky, I'm thankful every day,
(I don't know quite who to though; I never ever pray)

I act on whims at leisure, and sample all life's joys.
(I can even sometimes do it without making too much noise!)
But when I'm in my element (with friends, without a care)
I don't need to go to heaven, 'cos I'm already there....
