An Illusion

An Illusion


What your eyes see
Is not what the World is
What you don't see
True World could be.

There's a sight 'defeaning'
And sound 'blindening'
The World does not seem
What we daily dream!

          *

Look with your heart
So as to read the chart
Listen with your eyes
And, you'll ward off lies!

Cardinal point o' compass
To your soul will pass
If South is now North
Bliss will the pour forth!

          *

By the mouth we heed
And accept a bad creed
By the noses we talk
By frail ears we walk...

          *

The World does recede
Where Lies do precede.
