Existing For Many

Which reality not accepted,
Existing for many...
Yet for some,
Refused and denied!

Why is it that those deluded, are given attention.
And those who seek truth...
Seem to be abused by deceit,
To be tricked and consciously lied.

And why is it 'that' which is observed,
Gets less respect...
Than the nonsense we've been taught to praise.

And why is it some days are confusing to others,
When all of us have been teased...
With addictions we crave.

Daily those temptations are sought,
With the acknowledgement we buy what we've bought...
Knowing that the price solicited,
Is one too high but we still agree and then overpay.
