See Sea

Imitate, emulate, the way of the primate

unenlightened spirits control and subjugate

Your eyes can't see and your ears can't hear

that loss of the known is your actual fear 

Everyone talks, but few people know 

that change is crucial and needed to grow

Pry your eyes open and keep your heart pure

get acquainted with yourself and you'll know that for sure
