A wise man once said "give me the fortune keep the fame",
Do me a favor and imagine yourself in a cave,
You're trapped in chains, just you and your brain,
In fact you have company, but they are also tamed,
You face the back wall, you just see shadows reflection,
Now don't you think that that would hinder your perception?
Too fast, imagine you are freed and journey out of this place,
You come across water and see the reflection of your face,
Your heart starts to race, you can't make out this character,
Compared to the soulless shadows this seems like a caricature,
Your vision is blurred, the sun's light is too bright,
Maybe its not your sight, maybe its intellectual plight,
Your refuge is in the cave, from there you seek help,
And that is where you omit yourself true knowledge of self,
Your peers in the cave do not believe your insanity,
When in actuality its them that lead the perverse reality,
You see now how this can be compared to our society?
Authority/Superiority become number one priorities,
The wise man is wrong, he represents the majority,
Don't assume a life without questioning its origin. |
