reality
does exist
cannot be argued
what is happening now
actuality

afraid to emote
someone may laugh at me
stuff unknown feelings
a life lived in confusion
was it love or lust ? ? ?

Poem:
.
chaos ruling
politics above common sense
who do they think they are fooling
can anyone see through the pretence
police action, conflict, a war by any name
always has the other side to blame
kind thoughts dissipating into thin air
real compassion is truly rare
words arranged and rearranged like a flower bouquet
too many choices, like on a Swedish buffet
a literal smorgasbord ending with a chocolate fountain
the next challenge always a bigger, higher mountain
was there anyone who knew what
or was it just another rhyming couplet
the poem is always forcing the rhyme
while our lives are running out of time
it is only a problem, if you make it one
if anything at all makes sense, you have already won
