Analysis of Snap Out Of It



Come on.
Wake up.
Snap out of it!

You will be okay.
You will be fine. You will.

Just because you supported and endorsed,
Another fairytale told to you...
You believed and hoped to be true.
With your eyes, arms and fingers crossed.
Stop thinking the truth to reveal it,
Is  personal loss.

Think of it,
As just one more opportunity...
You get to come closer to reality.
And those clowns dressed up,
To impress they know best...
Which direction to take you to reach,
Neverland?
In tailored suits, smiling.
With briefcases and balloons carried?

Their mission...
Although, this time, proven to be,
An unsuccessful journey?

Yet...
One day,
Who knows.
There may be coming other fairytales told.
To have more fiction to delude.
And by then everyone left,
Having had enough...
Of being tricked and treated as if Halloween.
Finally,
Will accept to know they have been duped.
And the reality and truth of it...
May cause them to immediately recognize,
Clowns for who they are.
Leaving eyes opened wide.
Arms and fingers not to cross.
Done to take much more seriously,
Their lives to live without this in denial!

And that...
To snap out of may take a few slaps.
Smelling salts.
And a firm prolonged pinch on the butt.

But...
Know what?

Everything to win,
Does not have to begin...
Cheering clowns followed around joking.
Picking folks to disrespect and deceive.
For attention to get.
With their stupidity given support to believe.
Done to hope the entertainment of it,
Will get one of them to sit permanently...
As Master of Ceremonies!
In the midst of obeying trained elephants.
