You Can See With Your Own Eyes

We’ve created a paradigm in our society

And are living in a culture made to function the same as a fragile glass lens

As babies, we don’t see what’s not there

So as children, we’re taught to pretend to see through it

While letting it see through us the same as a projection

Casting a living shadow, an imposter; our reflections

Or, all these other people we find ourselves surrounded by

People who are more than happy to go along with the program

Can’t you see?

The smiles on their faces?

That laughter in their voices...

But be careful!

The majority of people on planet Earth are fickle creatures

Who spook easily, especially in large numbers

And while the foundation we’ve built our collective situation upon

Is non-existent

The glue that holds our human world together is tacit in nature

And when challenged, will shatter; breaking the lens

But it’ll be people, not sharp shards of glass

That’ll cut you to pieces both literally, psychologically and spiritually

Take it from me, just look; I’m a walking open wound

I am 21 years or older.
