From that Cracked Mirror

The world is anything except what you think

Events have been orchestrated even as you blink

As some uplifted by illusion while other’s spirits sink

Betrayed by your mistress over a brand new mink,

Every reason that brought me here

A product of deception and fear

Now that I’ve made that distinction clear

Who stares back at you from that cracked mirror?

So sorry that I missed your love

Oh those voices in my head from somewhere above

Delivered straight from the land of push and shove

You ruined my life because I thought we fit like a glove,

Now the ferry boat is leaving for a distant shore

You got off a long time ago you always wanted more

Afraid of the truth and what might come through that door

But the blood was already spilled my dear all over the floor,

The tools of war seem present everywhere

You talk of foreboding tomorrows with such despair

Like a love affair ended far beyond repair

Mankind forever caught in a predator’s lair,

My former lover with such contempt and defiance

Hardly a product of modern day science

Love takes no prisoners and disrespects compliance

Here I now live in an unholy alliance,

Please accept this poetry as proof of a truce

Between sleeping giants living in refuse

Mankind is doomed with absolutely no excuse

The victims created by those who suffered abuse.
