Reality that is the worldA Poem by Karen FloresBirds flying free chirping through the air. Parents arguing in front of children with no care. Cars screeching to not cross the red light. Women struggling against men to put up a fight. Homes turning into strange places no one knows. Rooms turning into ice, all the warmth into cold. The sun being blocked by the clouds turning the day dark. People hating, acting like dogs with no bark. Words coming out of books to prove something to the world. Videos changing the minds from unified to swirls. Newspapers turning
the world gray and white. News stopping the truth and making all the make belief
collide. Teenagers trying to be something they’re not. Children getting bullied just impatiently looking at the
clock. Workers being fired for defending themselves. Family members waiting for food to arrive in their shelves. Students sitting in classrooms hearing lectures so long. Professors trying to figure out where the material should
belong. Sleepers having dreams and nightmares through the night. Crowds gathering to hear the stories of those who lost
sight. Mothers drying the sad tears that come out of children eyes. Fathers trying to hide and turn the truth into lies. Technology overpowering the eyes of those who daydreamed
dreams. Government taking over and turning smiles into screams. Yea I know its weird hearing this all combine. But this is the dream, the truth and the world in my mind. -KF
