Reality as defined by Webster does not suit my definition
For what is considered real is merely a means, - such as an essential
Condition
The social reality most people have come to accept as fact and truth
Requires conforming to indifference, I’d rather remain quite uncouth
Living by standards set forth by the rules and laws of humankind
One lives a life quite one-sided; for “idealism" is also a truth - to which we are
All blind
To follow the herd right or wrong is as natural as learning to walk
But to follow your heart you walk alone, this is how the mysteries of life
Are unlocked
Some live their whole lives never attempting to answer the big question WHY?,
The only certainty they accept is the fact that someday we all will die.
To live for today and the hell with tomorrow satisfying only - our own needs
We grow like weeds in a garden disrupting ideals through our own personal deeds
Yes reality - that is the world as it is - we all choose to accept as a fact of life
We find a place in this crazy world - to live our lives as man and wife
In our pursuit of happiness we all use the term “That’s life" and leave it at that
When we retire at night from a hard day’s work - we often forget to put out the cat
We are constantly told the world still is the same - we’ll never change it
With all of its problems the world’s not so bad - even I will succumb to, and admit
So I will continue to take, give, share and most importantly love
For this fine old world continues to spin with the help from the man up-above
