perception deception

i am not seeing what my eyes see
am I hearing what my ears hear?
except always intercepted by you
arising between me and the world
never once did you not appear
a transparent veil tainting my world

at each sense door you arise first
presiding in all my experiences
o thou art seen!
never once have I seen the world as it is
whether within or without
as it is you I am always unknowingly seeing

insecurity? Oh my gosh! It’s you!
fear? Again I see it’s you!
happiness? Here you come again to fool me.
bondage? Surely you are the best conjuror!
the prejudices I have upon my brother
is none other than you I am experiencing

the attachment over my sister
again you make me believe in
in pursuit, I chase, over nothing
for it’s you always a moment in front
making me believe there is something
except emptiness in samsara now I see

who are you, the mastermind?
where no meaning once upon a time
meaning come to be
in tears, in joy, in fear – I’m fooled.
emancipation of you is what I wish
yet never will it ever be possible

except to see you clearly each every move
one day I Am, no longer need you.
do what is necessary, Perception
for you are but just a function
with Wisdom, penetrative
Awakening, one day, takes over you.
