He looks a lot like me.
I've never seen the man upstairs;
Is he the same as we?
The things we see can be defined
And they can be believed.
Things unseen cannot be trusted
Unless we be deceived.
Why was the curtain there at first?
Was it to hide the seen?
I do not understand this mask.
What can this knowledge mean?
If the seen is to be hidden,
How can it be embraced?
Why is hidden knowledge better
Than that which is not faced?
I've seen the man behind the curtain;
He looks a lot like me.
I've never seen the man upstairs;
Is he the same as we?
The things we see can be defined
But should they be believed?
Things unseen cannot be trusted
Or are we all deceived?
