desert wonderland

snow flakes burn
before hitting the cacti.
a piece of trash surfs
and finds freedom in the ocean.
water is paraded
while the city is in a draught.
the illusion trickles
from canine to politicians.
truth slowly reveals itself
no one pays attention to it
people ignore reality
embracing the status quo.
the sane feel insane
for being sane
among an insane population.
welcome to paradise.
