from a collection by Gary Knapton entitled "Secrets and Lies"
People look young when you’ve been around a while
People can shimmer like haze
Some light up like the sun’s oblivion
Others are darker than days
People and pain get repulsed magnetically
People and pleasure get drawn
Some are like books that read energetically
Others get ripped up and torn
People are swayed like ferns in thunderstorms
People don’t know they don’t know
Feed people up with ego and vanity
Watch how far people will go
People bow down to the laws of marketing
People like lemmings get rolled
Give a man lies and he’ll make a truth of it
People got media-controlled
People are wrapped in pride and prejudice
Locked in parameter’s range
Fear is absolute
Freedom is relative
People and power don’t change
People are scared, lonely and delusional
People can see but won’t look
Self-perception all skewed as usual
Image in the mirror all crook
It's bodies, not people that die and naturally
Bodies, not people get born
People won't wake
They don’t see the tragedy
Sleepwalkers never transform
…..........
