Flash VS Reality

In a world full of flash

All style and no substance

Blinded by the haves

Entertainment for the have-nots

No wonder an undercurrent of rage

Flows through society

The have-nots work

Day in, day out

The haves smile for the screen

Diamond rings and flashy things

Newest and greatest for the rich

We have to keep up with The Joneses

Drowning in unending debt

you shed the light really bright; we are constantly drowned by the media from flashes of illusions painted for us to escape the lack of creativity from sitting in front of the tv...alluring us with images; dramatic expressions to lock us in to the longing to be on a string; to follow a script; to mimic happiness....to fill the void with materialism and living above our means
