These dreams or those

*** these dreams or those ***
These dreams or those
Found online or manufactured
Fake industry strength applause
Laughter canned and deployed
Sunlight from spotlights
The Hollywood dream machine
Illusions of reality provided
Promoting a world not for you
A world for the chosen few
The blonde and bosomed brilliant
Or the pectorially assertive alpha
Every word a witty sharp delivery
The homes in which they live
Mansions of exclusive fashion
No work all fun
The opposite of the race you run
These lives to which you aspire
Which exist only upon the screens
A creation of modern desires
Fabricated in artificial climes
The peak of the greatest crimes
To steal away the real
Offer instead an illusionary deal
Of material wants and endless youth
The only rewards for the vain and uncouth
To believe such small a world to gain
An offering only leading to greater pain
When all you want found empty
The illusion fed not the spirit
All wisdom offered now dead
Dulled and dumbed down in presentation
Upon the screens so many worship
Sipping down a sleeping tonic.
