Fake Kinkade

I bought a fake Kinkade
That’s what the man said
But I wouldn’t have known
For all my life
I thought I had it made
But I was betrayed
By a forger in a foreign country
I don’t like
I seen this world without disruption
Everything so peaceable and bright
And all my true antipathies
Were vanquished
By the light
I bought a fake Kinkade
That’s what the man said
But I wouldn’t have known
For all my life
I had it laid
In a safe place
Had it in a gilt frame
I know my rights
I walk the cobblestones in starlight
I feel the moisture on my skin
I feel the power of imagination
Move ordinary men
But it was a fake
