To See the World 026

To See the World

would you throw everything away
only to gain the very ability
to see the world through your eyes
where everything that has happen
is the motive and desire of humans

that is to see our every thoughts and secrets
to be able to see the schemes of our heart
the every moves they wish to make
the intricate plots that they came up with
their darkest secret that wish to hide

yes, the very eyes to see all these
would you gave your soul away
to see the rotten side of us
the part where we dont wish other to see
the part that will disgust you utterly

to see the world in that manner
is to see the truth in everything
the true nature of us human
the very sole desire stem from our selfishness
only on the outside we make it look pretty

only then you would comprehend
the true meaning we are being alive
to live a lying facade behind a mask
to act like a civil and responsible society
all these is a rotten lie to fool us

behind all these pretends, not a single thread
was for the benefit and the grace for others
it was all for our own personal gains
whether it was wealth, power, famed, security
it is for our own sake, to benefit ourselves

i watched with disgust at such obnoxious sight
have i, myself already stained in the same blood
the blood of this pathetic selfish world
drown in the exctasy of such overwhelming force
the thirst of personal gains no matter the cost

at last, i too have been swept away
enveloped by the many dark hands
covering my failing iris with illusions
feeded with the desire to gain everything
putting on that hollow smile of mine

watching ourselves outwitting each other
behind the smiling lips and plastic expression
our daggers was concealed and ready to strike
when the oppurtunity present itself onto us
to see the world with such eyes like these
would you trade everything away
to know the absolute truth behind it
would you?
