MIRAGE

Out in the sun,

It may look like fun.

In the heat of the day,

Seems like the time to play.

No signs of rain,

Such disdain.

Out in the heat,

An image that can’t be beat.

It all looks so real,

But it’s something you cannot feel.

Enter if you dare,

Even though it is simply not there.

In that glimmer of hope,

If you believe it, you’re a dope.

All you want to do is take,

But can’t, since everything is fake.

Why pursue,

Something that is not true?

Don’t hold your breath,

For something that will produce an imminent death.

In your mind, it works like camouflage,

But in the end, it’s just a mirage.
