The Real World
Only fiction writers can shape all those lives
To fit the desired characters they contrive,
Whatever the imagination desires to create,
Whatever personality they may care to instigate.
In the world of "make believe" we can surely form
And shape in any fashion what may or may not be the "norm".
Could this be the reason a writer chooses
To shape the characters as winners or losers?
In the real world no such choice, to this degree,
Can ever become a fashioned reality.
Every life has to decide its own direction
Interwoven as it is with others and all their selections.
