Trust not what you see
Your eyes edit the truth
The camera keeps the wound open
Simba’s vision of Mufasa
rippled by the watering hole
the camera would have only shown sky
Eyes searching a mirror
finds the story your brain has written
the camera does not remember.
A window catches a moment
light fractured, time paused
the camera is closer to the truth.
Trust not what you see
a picture paints a thousands words.
