Reality
Wandering along I came to a throng being addressed by a voice.
With Rhetoric so strong it did not take long to realize this voice's choice.
He spoke of our "due " and convincingly too promised to take care of us.
In my state of lack his line drew me back thinking in him I could trust.
"All you need is yours indeed , Supplied by those with more"
"So join our band and walking hand in hand utopia is ours for sure."
It sounded so good I decided I would enlist in this worthy spree.
Then all of a sudden my mind was flooded with lessons life had taught me.
If all were entitled then none would supply and soon all would have nothing all told.
We reap what we sow,
Let those idealists know, anything else is fools gold.
