Be Not Fooled
Mind you the false ego that my self displays?
Mind you it and abhor you it?
Pray, be not fooled by what you see
Remember what seems to be may not be it
Rather, learn to wage your way through the vines
That have invaded my whole castle
Learn to cut them down and to find the key
To the closed door, as, like Sleeping Beauty,
All do sleep in my reality
All do sleep, cursed by their own fate,
Oblivious to their surroundings, lost in their own
Dreary dreams!
When you reach my dozing self,
Pray, do handle it as if it were a mirror
One, easily broken if mishandled
But one, in which you shall see reflected
Not only your self, but also your meaning
In this uncertainly revolving mess!
Pray, be not fooled by the false ego that I display
The depth of my inner pools are far too abysmal
To be able to contain any sort of pride
Over a body which is doomed to disappear someday!
Like me, learn to sit still, learn to shed off the unnecessary
Before taking the plunge in the depth of your own pool
Only then shall you understand about futility and falsity!
