Reality Bites

Reality Bites

The real world---

Has no sympathy for the weak.

For those who suffer

For those who grovel

On their feet.

It caters to the strong—

The bold and audacious,

Exalts the proud

Reveres the cunning

Applauds the courageous.

The real world sucks

It is never fair and just

Whoever says it is

Is living in fantasy

And would do well wake up.

The real world doesn’t care

If you’re alive or not


It thrives for people

Who take what they can

Whatever the cost is -from life.

The real world dashes dreams

To useless, meaningless dust

Lets you run smack

Into what truly is

With your eyes open wide.

A pity…such a pity…

We’re living in such

A real world

A cruel world..

But we are still alive, aren’t we?
