Now That It Is Shown

Whatever it is you thought it was...
Isn't.
Nor had it been.
Although you were convinced...
It would never end.

And now that it is shown,
What you believed was known...
Has gone.
You want to know what is going on.

Reality as it should be!
Had not been introduced.
Not like it is now...
For all to see.
And many are in denial...
That 'this' reality,
Is not what they expected...
To leave such an effective,
Truthfulness!

And those nourished on complete fantasy...
Believe 'reality' should be encouraged,
To approach them!
As a means to allow its acceptance!
And sickened by an exclusivity nonexistent.

'Why are they here dressed in tuxedos and furs? '

They wish to show themselves as the chosen.
And have come to impress the unconscious.
