Bit Players

Uncontrollable falsities
smoke and mirrors
They are all so busy
putting on their magic shows
lying to everyone
but above all lying to
themselves
Eventually there will be
nothing left to believe in
And they will wonder
where it all went wrong
They build falsities around
everything they love
And mutilate their truths
with lies that drip saccharine
But when the shutter clicks
those truths are caught
frozen in time
Because their eyes can't lie
The shutter clicks and
reveals that everything
is one big magic show
Their lives are outlined with
pictures of how the way
things are supposed to look
Sadly most of us are too dumb
to see through the fake-ness
Or just don't have the
energy to even care
Those of us that get
sucked into their giant
black tar pits of truths
are merely shadows in the
background of their nauseating
personas created for
all the world to see
