SIGHT IS SCARRED

Sight is scarred
The truth denied
Nothing real
Simply implied

What if the world
Is just an idea?
What if perception
Is one man's ideal?

A shroud pulled over
A veil undone
Would anything exist
If nothing were done?

Reality
The truth for me
If I start digging
What might I see?

A place that is barren
No hopes, no beliefs
People with nothing
Bark stripped from trees

If sight is scarred
The shadows our net
Is anything real
Beyond the goals met?

Sight is deceiving
I am receiving
Of implications of a
World I hope
Keeps believing.
