Poetry: Pretending

by Janette Dengo

Created on: June 30, 2010   Last Updated: April 18, 2011

Impostors,

Frozen in time unable to feel

Naive to hear, touch nor see

Soon we are not who we are

Bound to be completely free

Why have the years gone by?

Oblivious we are they disappear

Blanketed delusions within us lie

Creating facades from our fear

Walking, seeing and hearing cries

Of those distant voices who call

In the shadows of our existence

Getting up to try again we fall

Folding hands from dirty laundry

When desire bubbles in our core

For items to build broken dreams

Yearning we wish forever more

Impostors exist within our mirrors

Reflecting beings we do not know

Defiant souls who crave but fame

To continue waves of greedy flow

The hearts are beating to a rhythm

As the Earth echoes cries of plead

Revive love and mostly consider

Respectfully equal we do all bleed

Abundance lives in air we breathe

It is not too late remove the mask

Although kind cautiously do step

Each fulfilling your mortal task
