Reel Life

Staring at an empty pitcher when you're a thirsty crow

Or expecting harvest when there are no seeds to sow

Imagining, eating a freshly baked loaf of bread

While not having money to even buy a piece of thread

Expecting an 'A' when you skipped the exam

Or expecting an investment return from a scam

Praying that money falls into your pouch

While you haven't even left the couch

Being a hero on screen or as they say, in reel life

But not having done any charity in real life

Do you see where I'm reaching for?

Vicarious life is not worth fighting for!
