Strange That You Might...

I think if you took the time to look to the core of a man, His very essence might blow you away. You'd find he's more than what's at the surface. All that, and yet what's at the surface is magnified Until the world is but a spec of dust - a grain of sand - A molecule in the wind. Could you look at him the same again After viewing such a scene as what might appear in his soul? Is it possible that nothing would be the same, Yet everything might be for the better? And is his nature that of malevolence? Hate? Pride? Or just that of cold, hard Fear. Why judge what you can't see with looking to the core, And recognizing that his very essence might blow you away? I think you'll find that the more you search for this soul You'll find it locked away - Tightly - And you might find yourself asking: What's there but the barest emotions, The bitterest of hearts, and the strangest conception Of Love.
