The Fairy Tale Dreams

Grandma used to tell Fairy Tales

Where prince charming gets the beautiful princess

And life is all bliss and happiness writ at large all around

 

That’s reel life

Where dream merchants have a field day

Real life

Is vastly different

Harsh realities overshadow fancy dreams

 

Oasis is a mirage

Desert is the reality

Desert Storm is the most faithful companion

 

Life is a cruel joke

For teeming millions struggling to find a decent life

Each day brings its quota of ordeal

 

Life is the biggest Tormentor

Only its agents and faces keep on changing

Life remains painful, all the same

 

Fairy tale dreams are illusions

It is opiate of the massed passed from generations

To alleviate life’s sufferings, which are for sure and real
