The seductive aroma of truth,
What is underneath the masks of humanity,
The mindless machines of mankind,

The true motives of emotion,
The courage of free thought,
The emptiness of pain,
For one to truly feel,

Does the morality of endless time exist,
I might be a different man than yesterday,
What is Knowledge,
Does humanity understand awareness,

Reality is false,
The perceptions of mind decide one's character,
Does limited free-will determine freedom,

I know nothing,
I'm not everything,
I just am.
