A Synthetic World
We live in a synthetic world
no beauty is natural anymore
as I sit in this room
I see the beauty in the trees
only to realize the are plastic
their pots beautifully carved
but also plastic
I look at the wall and see
a beautiful river
alas, only a picture
I look to the other wall
not decorated at all
my only company
the buzz of phosphorescent lights
and the buzz of conversation
from all the synthetic people
with their false faces
and their hollow lives
this world is synthetic
nothing should be a surprise
Go on to How
Or go back to Main
