This Thing...

Trick question... what is it to see and not to see?

What is that which holds willing men captive, clutched and clenched to their hearts effortlessly.

 

This thing... this, "it", has an uncanny ability to reassure its captors of self worth, giving off a sense of  propriety, humility, and self perplexity,

However simple and vain you may actually be, this thing will give you another set of eyes to see, that perhaps things aren't what they seem to be, Haughty is perhaps not so naughty, just human nature intrinsically. 

 

This is a treacherous one it is, with a mighty high fine, causing dynasties to crumble, War amongst peaceful nations, families to divide,.. It has been  dwelling in comfort among us sense the dawn of time.

Could it be the first of many crimes, that called call out in silence to it's counter parts through the passing times, through the mind's meditations soft and reoccurring as the sound of  wind chimes.

 

They blend in you know... amongst the sounds of the wind  and the sloshing of the river water flow.

 

Inside the heart of the one with the trained eye and disciplined ear, this thing has no home, is has no place of rest, no voice to speak, and to and fro it roams. Seeking a willing heart and submissive mind to render to it free reign.

 

The glory the world fattens it up with remains completely vain, This thing I speak about has a five letter name, often over dignified,  this thing is never satisfied,  this thing is called stubborn  ________!
