And I Won’t Be Fooled Again

I believe
that most people
are disingenuous
and selfish.
They mean one thing
but say another.
They do one thing
but the next, another.
We have become so
consistently inconsistent
with one another
and with ourselves
that I wonder;
If we ever came face to face
with happiness,
would any of us choose it
or would we be too comfortable
in the fake world that we have built for ourselves
to want anything different?
