Relative to What?

It only seems, instead of is.

What do we really mean by this?

That our life is only a dream;

things are not always what they seem.

The observer realizes

that life is full of surprises.

While underneath a coat of paint

what may seem so, probably aint.

So what can we really believe

without seeming to be naive?

We might distinguish right from wrong

and not just simply go along.

Things which we merely intuit

are probably right–so do it.
