Pressure

We are under pressure
To run the race of life
The here and now comes first
No more living in the past
Take a step back and look
At today: “life in the fast lane”
Actors in masks doing what is asked
Superficiality has no bounds
Insanity reigns in this melee
As all and sundry join the fray
Feelings smothered, masked
As we try to portray the ideals
Thrust on us by those in the know
And we accept without a word
Without a sign of a struggle
Because we all want to be someone else
And pretence leaves emptiness.

And to paraphrase William Shakespeare, ‘All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely actors..’ Very well put by you both..

Yes Jake, and we are all manipulated by the media who decide on basically everything! We are just puppets.
