Life is like an onion:
As each layer you peel,
You seek true reunion -
Closer with the real you.
Each life kills or cures you
From life's infernal ills.
Every man pays his due
Just as we do our bills.
Each man judges himself.
As he stares in the pool,
He thinks he sees an elf
Holding his worn out tool!
Every life should reveal
The nature of that soul...
We may try to conceal
How far we've yet to go.
We may lie to others...
But to ourselves be true!
Let's not judge our brothers!
Be mindful what we do.
