Reality Check

I often wonder
Is the world we live in truly real?
Has the soul of life fallen still?
Faded by a world that no longer feels?

No one seems to care anymore
Hearts numbed, eyes fixed on gold
Is money the final path to joy
Or just a lie that’s getting old?

The world spins into chaos
And I ask, do our leaders truly see?
Or do they simply drain our strength
To build their lives in luxury?

Are we really living for ourselves
Or just existing for someone else’s dream?
Chasing shadows, pleasing crowds
Drowning in another’s stream?

It’s time to pause
Time to breathe
Time to reality check...
