I heard about an acquaintance recently who had been "Taken for a ride" by an unscrupulous fellow. I could cry for her but I can also see how it could have happened.

Unreallity

It’s all so wonderful because of the dreams
But in reality, not as it seems.
Our eyes deceive us whilst looking at this,
Nothing is seen that our minds want to miss.
When your heart is involved and holds hard to that dream
It’s rose tinted glasses that scan the scene.
If only all truths were so easy to hide
And the less salubrious side be denied
Would ignorance make life more palatable?
Could we really be so gullible?
