Life as a painting
On this one-way street
‘Tween the real and fake
An authentic cheat
Ambiguous choice
Presented as truth
Will self-fulfilling
Prophecy produce
Compulsive searching
A society
Estranged itself from
It’s reality
Representation
Has replaced the real
A simulation
An authentic steal
Inspired and paraphrased from the first part of Authenticity & Absurdity at Philosophy Now

A thought provoking poem
