Maradesa Ebenezer.
CATEGORY: POETRY
“Fake It
Till you make it”
The noise of it f(ee)lls the air.
Marching along the highways
Some zap by at the speed of light
And others r(high)de on wings of flying dinosaurs;
Or so they thought.
They skip on blindly
Eyes wide open
Caressed by pleasant images
Dilligently fed them by snug virtual reality goggles.
There I stand by the s(igh)de,
W(awe)tching as they stumbled about in place.
I really did try, “You can have it but you don’t just yet”,
But was drowned out by their stump and chant,
“Fake it
Till you make it.”
Maybe it’s just the McGurk effect
But all I hear is
“Fool yourself
Till you make a fool of yourself.”
BACKDROP:It’s common place these days for people to live the lives they project themselve having, so much so that they believe they already have it, even though they don’t as yet.
Cheers to our Amazing Tribesman, Ebenezer. We are proud of You!
