Realness of Things
Not every eyes closed is asleep,
Not every vast sea is as deep
Believe not everything your eyes see
The realness of most things is not as it seems
Not every beautiful thing is good
Not everything cooked is food
Attractive things may be a cloaked peril
And a delicious meal may be a poison to kill
Not every gathered cloud augurs a rainfall
And not every dark heaven augurs nightfall
Do not act holding unto what you see
A grass-carpeted land may actually be a deep
Not every lie can kill,
Not every truth can heal
What you hear may be to save you
Lest you fall into a hot soup
A man could be a vampire
A fiery mere could be a campfire
Believe not all your eyes see
The realness of most things is not as it seem
