Painting Perceptions

 

All the world
now an electronic stage
where we click out
our personal slanted narratives
for public consumption

Posting heavily edited
rose colored selfie productions
we can rarely duplicate
outside the flat screen 
in our unregulated reality

All pain and unflattering truths
dumped in the perception trash bin

If only real life was so easy

If only happiness could be sorted
like our precious apps

Don't fall into the envy trap

Always take the cover story
at its face value

Decide for yourself
how much you view is true
and try as best you can
to filter out the fluff
