Hiding the Face, What About the Heart

HIDING THE FACE, WHAT ABOUT THE HEART They say the eyes are our window to the outside world After a while, more like a camera The two balls are the shutter open The mind as the camera man The heart, where the video is stored, as raw as it Just because them balls view the world out there We turn to think the one in control is the face With the head, so we think For he can manipulate what we view What we say and hear, what we lead ourselves into That is why we become shy to say what’s in the heart Thou the mind sayeth not the heart That is why we think by maintaining a rigid posture, we intimidate Whilst the heart is burning down there Why Judas be thou deceiveth me with thy kiss For I know thy heart not thine face, Oh son of Adam, why hideth thy face, what about thy heart AUTHOR NEO MASETLANE
