A Duel between the Real and the Fake

A duel between the real and the fake has now become the order of the day,

How some people are actually within and what to the world they portray!


It is so very amazing how some people cleverly wear a mask all the time,

And its almost like being honest and being yourself has become a crime!


For their selfish and ulterior motives, how some people play with emotions,

Making others a scapegoat and 'a means to an end'to fulfill their own ambitions.


 Funnily they talk really  big and paint a larger than life image of themselves,

Portraying themselves as messiahs, fooling all others and even their own selves.


What, they do not however realize is that other people are not mute and blind,

They can very well see through their facade but either don't care or do not mind.


Its justified to be ambitious and do anything to acquire a big name and fame,

But certainly not fooling people and using them like pawns in their life's  game.


Born with a 'high and mighty' attitude and a mind with a tyrannical,whimsical bent,

They underestimate others and insinuate others of having a low emotional quotient.


Beware of people who are fake yet,the opposite about themselves, they believe and tell,

They only deserve our sympathy as they are often going through their own private hell.

Ironically, such people who use shortcuts for realizing their goals also do succeed and gain,

But only after paying a price of deceiving their own selves and many others in the bargain!
