Close your eyes and open your mind


Our eyes yield flase truths; souls in tow

Slave to imagination
Eyes closed, open
See the same
Understand simplicity
Not the truth
Hidden below the surface
We cover up and bury
And stamp
No truth
Eyes closed, open
See the same
We seek the easy
Fast, instant, immediate
Gratification
Longer roads masquerade as
The roads we run to
The treachery we create for ourselves
We no longer see
Images of our imagination
Permeated on our lenses
We cover up and bury
Our salvation
It is easier to slide down hill
Than to make it to the top
