Optical Illusions

Optical illusions Seeing is believing at least that's what they say Sometimes though, what our eyes see leads us astray World banks and their buildings are so, impressive to the sight Promising financial freedom, while profits, like birds take flight Political leaders, world rulers, seem so confident giving their speech Fulfilling their vainglorious promises however, is often out of reach. Physical beauty of men and women is often just simply superficial When cosmetic surgery alters images, they end up looking artificial Actors and singers, superstars, have their stylists and make up on All are not as they appear, broken idols ever seeking a glory long gone Religious leaders with their pomp, showing off illustrious vestments Optical illusions promising salvation while minding their investments This world is full of hypocrisy promising things but they are only lies Optical illusions at their best, but it's time to open our eyes.
