All of creation, framed through this lens,
Misshapen by want, scattered outside,
Distorted vision makes truth hide,
Break the lens and look inside!

Love in the heart, bleeds out and cries,
Wanting which was never mine,
Reaching for thorns, framed through this guise,
Break the lens and look inside!

Perish, return yearning for life,
Bruised humans disguised in smiles,
Union with endless sorrow and pride,
Break the lens and look inside!

This lens of mine, frames the world,
The pain I feel are beautiful lies,
Merged, united with truth of life,
This lens I broke and looked inside.
