"Stirring the Leaves to Ascertain the Depths."

I perceive my own Truth, Root by Root
From the Root to the Shoot
From the Shoot to the Limb and from the
Limb to the Branch

Anything missed in-between can be misinformed;
misconstrued; circumstantial, but, not happenstance

And then the Leaf and the Seed and the Fruit that
bears the image of the DNA: that internal blueprint
that will determine the visible substance that is seen

All building blocks to substantiate a whole; which
without anyone of these, can prevent the Truth from
being known

The Root; the DNA: The Genetic coding from which
the Corporeal being was made

A Lie; a Truth; a Manipulation to Deceive the Proof

"An ax to the Root Severs it, Oh so Profound; so that
not even an Impression of the original can be found,"

This Body that We walk in, an multi-layered vessel; on
the facial, calm and pleasantness, but within, concealed
by the Deceit and Manipulations and the Lies and the
multi-faceted sub-surfaces; not a fragment of what
appears to the eyes no... all fucking well-crafted Illusions

But this Root goes Deep; down into the Bowels of Hades
where it's watered with the soul that Weeps; until it's
grown-up into a Tree that bears sundry kinds of Leaves

"So, I Will to Stir the Leaves to Discern the spirits within
  man; because what is seen on the Surface is not the
  True Representation of the Root that is in His Depths,"

And in so doing I

Perceive my own Truth, Root by Root
From the Root to the Shoot
From the Shoot to the Limb and from the
Limb to the Branch

Anything missed in-between can be misinformed;
misconstrued; circumstantial, but, not happenstance

And then the Leaf and the Seed and the Fruit that
bears the image of the DNA: that internal blueprint
that will determine the visible substance that is seen
