So Say, The Wise Old Man

“the world is just a show
glittering but empty
it is...
yet it is not
there, as long as it want to be seen
dissolve, when cease caring
no cause nor purpose
no depth nor meaning
it just happens
appears exactly as it looks
only the onlooker is real
to him, the world is a colourful show
he enjoys as long as it last
forgets when it is over
he may shudder in terror
he may roll with laughter
yet aware it is but a show
without desire and fear
he enjoys it”
so say...
The Wise Old Man.
