Reflection

Timeless is the way we see ourselves...
Always it is the same, yet is different each time...
Kings look vainly on themselves,
Exercising their extreme power just for their benefit

A classic case of false perceptions

Looking back on it all,
One could say that each pass is a look inside
Ourselves, into the very souls which are hidden by blood and bone...
Kings must have been extremely proud to see such a thing...

In time, however, we have been dulled by the
Nuisance we call simplicity and technology...

The masses cannot see themselves for who they really are...
Hordes of mindless zombies, feeding on nothing, feeding their
Empty minds with nothing but greed, envy, and isolation...

My body stands in front of a mirror to prove a point...
I look deeply into the confines of my mind, the deepest
Reaches of my thoughts, the parts that were denied access to previously...
Reluctantly, a figure appears in the resulting fog,
One of sadness, seclusion, misunderstanding, abuse...
Reaching out really helps to see that I am not wanted...

So let me ask you:
What do you see?
