Deep within the walls of time,
Far beneath the darkest shadow,
Transparent enough for the naked eye to see,
But that is why it is left unseen.
Inside the hidden corridor of life,
The ability to see the problem.
Yet the world pays no attention,
As we continue on with our ways.
Probably it is better left unseen,
The truth stings like a whip.
Better left out in the open, than to hide it.
Since people always seek the hidden.
Eager as you are to know the secret,
Things left unsaid aid the way
Not ready are you to come to terms with reality.
This is not the place, this is not the time.
You beg and you plead for my knowledge,
But I don't want to break you.
A whisper in the hallow wind,
Alas, the stillborn breathes.
The answers you want,
Are right in front of you,
If only you would open your eyes.
If only the world could see.
