Everything You See Poem by Al Ameen Shuaib Assayouty Ologele

Everything You See

Rating: 4.0


Not everything you see
Is what you think of it
To be,
Most of what you see
Is what you think of it
Not to be
The outside may be morning,
But the inside is twilight
The shining of the sun
Does not mean that the
Moon is dead,
The world may be good
But the good of it is bad,
The more they hail thou,
The closer thou are to perish

Not everything that our naked eyes see, is what they see. Good idea. But I liked these two lines of the poem, the most: 'The more they hail thou, The closer thou are to perish'!
