Her illusions jumble her vision;
reality just out of reach.
He self-induced ignorance,
a cocoon of protection.

Her thoughts seem to be
“others WILL take care of me!”

Self-appointed princess,
sitting atop her cloud throne,
dictating her wants to
a non-existent kingdom.

Her demeanor states
“I am above you ALL!”

Her words spin, a demand
tripping into a lie.
Another lie wrapped around her –
a smothering regal cloak.

Her words demand
“You will do as I SAY!”

You strip away her
traitorous cloak –
and she stands before
you, cowering.

Her eyes tell you,
“I hate you!”

And, for a brief instant,
reality sinks in…
she is the same as us –
and it scares her.

Her being says,
“Hold me! I’m scared!”

But only for an instant.
She immediately dons her
cloak, climbs to her throne
and re-activates her illusions.

And there she remains,
alone.

I saw a lot of this behaviour from some reincarnated Vietnam era soldiers who were angry at their treatment from their own government and people. There were also others had reincarnated with a chip on their shoulder, thinking that everyone should bow down to them.
