Fantasies

When real life brings perplexities
the Arts revert to fantasies.
To calm the minds and souls of men
with childlike fables once again.

Step back and look at what Arts say;
the fantasies that they pervey.
Then ask yourself, "why is it so,
what do they not, want me to know?"

Rise up and wash sleep from your eyes,
realities you'll realize.
When fantasies come to an end,
you'll wake to life again my friend.
