The Veil Of Existence

This world is an illusion, it is darkened by the sun
An impermeable delusion deceiving everyone
It tells the truth in lies; a riddle that reveals
Logic it defies; a mirage that seems so real

It speaks our native tongue, never saying a word
A portrait that is hung, whose image is obsurd
Life's neverending search is a treasure in itself
As divine as a church -- oppurtunity is man's wealth

With every path we take, we cannot see the end
But with every mistake, knowledge it transcends
Fortifying our insight, endowing minds with power
Serving as a mental light -- the darkness it devours

Life's illusion is our own, embrace it when you can
Our purpose is unknown, but embodies every man
A shape shifter of sorts, whose figure stays the same
Circumstances change and distort, but reality remains
