A Piece of Cake

Reality is easy
It is a piece of cake
Comparing it to the
Imagined
Are people as easy?
As reality?
As a piece of cake?
Of course not
They are very hard to
Draw
A piece of cake is easy to
Draw
But they are both
Real
How is one not so easy to
Draw?
Because one is
Autonomous
And the other is not
But both are made?
One is not made with
Butter
But both can be soft?
How is one a piece of cake
And the other not?
Because one is a piece of
Cake and the other is
a people.
Oh.
How come there are only
Crumbs
Left on the plate?
People smiles
