Analysis of More Attractive Than Reality



Money rumored to have.
Yet...
None seen sought to see,
Has not stopped trained gold diggers...
From sniffing around for its evidence.
Whether verified or not.
And even told rumors sold has more value,
Than truth to tell it.
Running through the streets.
As naked as a hairless gorilla.
No one can make anyone or anything,
Anywhere on Earth.
Can stop breath to breathe like a dollar!
And...
Appear more  attactive,
Than reality and its proof produced.
With facts ignored.
Left to leave behind and kept disbelieved.

'Embellishments.
Fictioned exaggerations!'

'Oh?
There are people today.
In the year 2022.
Yelling about a fear of being replaced,
By another race.
And the image of their faces,
Appear everywhere.'

'Lies!
Like where do their faces appear everywhere?'

'Cartoon characters.
Any product advertisers market to sell.
Over radio waves and all media they control.
And every dime, nickel...
Or penny pinched to spend.
Has their image on it.
To believe it theirs to take or steal.
And this they do with every law they create.'

'There you go.
Always trying to confuse the issue,
By introducing truth.
And you and I both know,
Truth has nothing to do...
With denial, self deception and fiction.
It should be obvious to you as it is to me,
That people these days...
Have been made to become upset,
By theories to imagine...
A rewriting of their own history.
That might change those feelings,
They hide and fake inside themselves.'

'Oh?
Geeessshhh.
Then why don't they just come out and say it?!
By now?
Who is left incapable to smell the B.S.,
For what the B.S. is!
There are more needed products,
Imported from a variety of diversed...
And ethnic countries.
Than exported from this one.
Few other countries want.'

'Oh, yeah?
What about our motorcycles, jeans...
Sports, entertainment,
Movies, videos and cartoon shows?
And don't forget,
Comfortable chairs.'

'But no one does that better.
That's why we are the best at it.
We are not great for no reason at all!'
