ONION SKIN

 

MY KINGDOM IS LIKE AN ONION

BELOW WHAT'S REVEALED ON THE SURFACE:

THERE ARE MANY PARTS, MANY LAYERS

LEVELS, GOING UP, GOING DOWN

MANY HIDDEN TREASURES

` WAITING TO BE PEELED BACK AND CLAIMED.

YOU ARE LIKE AN ONION

MANY COMPARTMENTS, MANY SIDES, MANY THINGS

THAT MAKE YOU WHO YOU ARE

AND SLOWLY BY SLOWLY, I PEEL BACK YOUR LAYERS

REPLACING THE WRONG WITH RIGHT, THE POOR WITH RICH

YOURSELF WITH MYSELF

UNTIL WE ARE ONE.

THIS IS HOW I MADE THE WORLD

THIS IS HOW IT IS

SHALLOW PEOPLE RECEIVE THE SHALLOW

AND THE DEEP SEEK OUT THE DEEP.

IT'S ALL LAID OUT LIKE AN ONION

BITE INTO LIFE AND IT MAKES YOU CRY

BITE INTO IT AGAIN AND YOU AQUIRE A TASTE

WHAT MAKES YOU WEEP GIVES YOU JOY

WHAT SEEMS TO HURT THEN GIVES YOU THE ULTIMATE PLEASURE.
 

MY KINGDOM IS LIKE AN ONION

AND ONLY THOSE WITH EYES TO SEE CAN SEE

ONLY THOSE WITH EARS TO HEAR CAN HEAR

ONLY YOU, OF MANY LEVELS AND LAYERS

MAY SEARCH OUT THAT KINGDOM WITH VIOLENT HANDS

AND WITH VIOLENCE AND ENDURANCE AND SURETY IN ME

MAY POSSESS IT.
