"Reality" Bytes; or Does reality BITE???

To click a controller and have a look,

At a reality world;

Do not let our first glimpse be mistook

For the true lives of boys and girls.

"Reality" and REALITY,

Which could this one be?

I'm confused by own partiality

Of this life I live and see.

Can a "survivor" truly survive;

Is "love" outside of a TV screen?

Oh Big Brother, I can't handle this jive;

"Reality" is no longer NORMAL, it seems!

J@(k@$$e$, bachelors, and billionaires

Claim their antics are "real."

If I myself were a millionaire,

Would that too be my spiel?

Is there dignity anymore,

Can this world just have the luck?

Or is "real" reality heretofore,

Doomed to sell itself out for a buck?

The real world or the "Real World;"

Can you tell which is thee?

Lord, I wish "The Real World"

Would just stop hassling me!

Now you outsiders have a decision;

"Should you stay or go afar?"

Is this culture worth the imposition,

Or take your spaceship back to the stars.
