What is reality?
Some non-existant world in which everyone thinks the same?
What is reality?
A world where broken hearts and lost souls wander?



Where is reality?
In the facts and legends of Man?
Where is reality?
In the lost and broken dreams of the homeless and poor?



Why is there reality?
To crush my hopes and prayers?
Why is there reality?
To keep us all from achieving greatness?



Why must we go to this place
where everyone is dying?
Why must we go to this place
where the suffering never ends?

NIce. I like the straightforwardness of this one.AND surprise, I have no comment, so this is good. really good. Well done. Marvelous. I don't know... I'm really confused on what to say because I'm so used to wrting long critiques. You left me speechless I guess.
