Simulated World

Momentary storms
Embedded in human software
Mirrors with silver coating
Obliterate authenticity
Reality is not the ingrained view
You remember, not always the facts

I am not real. I am the perception of your mind, the emotion that ran through your body, the impression on your soul.

Dancing mirrors
Emulate perceived
Magic – convex, concave, flat or spheres
Oblique, grotesque reflections
Not clear, instigate fear
Self in mutiny drives action

You will act, react, run, and live with an illusion, clashing with others’ illusions. You will wage wars and buy peace to rationalise what you once thought was real.

Remember what happened back then
Expressions silent or vocal
Collected in bins for retrieval
On triggered thoughts
Lenses manufactured
Lighting up graveyards
Exempted facts; concocted fiction
Comprehension decides
Timelines, acts and intention

  1. A profound and thought-provoking piece! Our perceptions often shape our reality, yet memories and emotions can sometimes distort the truth. I especially like the idea of mirrors reflecting different versions of ourselves. Perhaps wisdom begins when we learn to question our assumptions, look beyond our own reflections, and understand others with empathy. Not everything we remember is the whole truth, and not every reflection reveals who we truly are. Beautifully expressed! 🙏
