Real or Reflection
Normal or reflection of normal
in our changing world
*
Reality
skewed makes many question
what is real and what is just a reflection;
*
Reflections of wishful thinking and deceit
bombard us with every click of the key
with every click of the channel
*
What was once foundational
now undermined
becoming the skeptics challenge
making one wonder
“What is Truth?”
*

Dwight,
Very timely indeed — What we are experiencing has never seemed more Orwellian, as your poem expresses so clearly.

Dwight holding onto what is real is more vital than ever. It feels like we are bombarded with too much information in the electronic age and no way to sort it out. I love my kids and that’s about all I can count on right now as being real. That and when I walk outside and become part of nature.
