Trying to Analyze Reality

So many are caught between the accepting of truth.
Or,
Keeping impressions intact with pretensions.

Some want others to know...
The standing in an unemployment line,
Is their first experience.
And others there who are dressed for success...
Look around to see if anyone near,
Remembers when they had their noses stuck up in the air.

While a few there could care less,
What others say, do or think!
Since being fed and somewhere to lay their head...
Have become priorities.
And some folks are taking up too much time,
Trying to analyze reality.

'You 'act' as if you do not have a care in the world.'

~And 'you'...
Should take some acting lessons.~
