The Honour is Seeing

I play with you like a kid with dough I am an old man that has seen its shapes Will you ignore me when I tell you of Outcomes you will have to pay for in blood Or will you listen to me for what I paid for With my life time where I saw what brought me Down upon my knees so that I seemed so cheap That I forced it to memory just so that I Could be here to translate it to you now? The more clever you are the more you deceive Yourself and quite on the contrary it is Revealed that you are so much less of yourself Than you would have liked to think from The very beginning as she stands right there So very young in the middle of the store Staring right back at your aging old face But you are the same person you were way back Then when you started to see these things You sell out to them cheaply and that says Something profound about the core of yourself I mean, you would like to think yourself deep And cleverly layered in order to be able To gather up and garner to hold the content Of the very universe but here is the lesson You are in fact more limited than you would like To know and she can break you right there in The market where you are about to make payment
