MIRROR

Now we see dimly, at the mirrors dimmed pace

Then we shall see closely, face to lovers face

But in the tear, in the eye of our lover reflected

What will we see of our life time rejected?

Not done in the time we could change the rat race

What dim face in doorway, haltingly place?

Then pass on in plenty with no problem face

Those dogs eyes there hauntingly, blamelessly give

From possessions of nothing, for that beggar to live

In compassion and caring, with no reward base

What tears have we caused in life's little game?

The rise in the pack, to what others call fame

Just to find it tastes bitter, and dirty and rank

Plus those that we love have served this users tank

With casualties plenty in loyalties name

But no blame, just sad eyes to live in the heart

When we slow the pace down, from living a part

Defined by those others, to serve their great greed

And use talent Cyclops, one eyes fixed need

Subsumed in ignoring a Wolves right to feed
