Fake fire place and fake fire
Somehow still comfort me
Are they close enough to reality
Is it just warmth I seek.
Is reality all it is cracked up to be
Madison Ave is too good a feeling me
Image makers image takers
What is fake what is real
What is the latest version of the ideal
Too fat, too tall, too next door
We want more of that
You can buy it at our store
Are you credentialed
Do you have a degree
If you have both
You can be an idiot you see.
Intelligence is only one marker
In our new reality
Don't want to be too cynical
Don't want to be too clinical
I like my fake fire
And what is cool
Is often cool to me
But I don't want to be told
My fake fire is real
That image can heal
Or its a bargain
When you are trying to steal
So in front of my fake fire
I will stare
And reality I will give due care
While remembering
Buyer beware
