High on 'Reality'
A world
of illusions ,
of masks ,
of hypocrisy ,
of phoney people around .
I must be high ,
so as the world looks real.
I dream of illusions ,
and have illusions of dreams .
God made me walk
through Heaven one day.
and I walked out ....
thinking its just a dream .
Intoxicated,
heaven looked like a dream
unacceptable ,
unimaginable,
impractical,
I must have been high
on those 'harsh realities' ,
that make the world look real .
