Covers
this needs more work...

covers

covers are cheaper if you find the right one,
something that is familiar
like the original,
the way it was intended to be --
something that carries a heavy price,
lacking cash we dream, but never see
to pay for these dreams.

so in this case,
imitation is best.
we can make do not being genuine,
the way god intended.
people see just fine these covers
draped over souls, heavy with the burden.
we can never reveal the true model.

what a heavy price to pay
for cashless cows
huddling about
wanting to be seen.

paint any dreams on our covers, project and see
who will believe how true
to the original
we can be.

written in two minutes about how being fake can be good when we are not strong enough to shoulder the burden of who we were constructed to be, because it does not come as easily.
