What we see
Is what is there?
This is unknown.

Perception
Relativity
Judgment
Desires

Intelligent
Tipsy
Confused
Or mired?

If what we see is not the same
And what we want no one can name
If we are stuck within ourselves
And never can enter other shells
Then tell me, please, I do request
I do beseech you, please do wrest
This bit of wisdom from your soul:
Who are you to judge? Do you know?
