poetry and politics via the truth

mirrors

today we look in mirrors

tomorrow, well, who knows?

for what we see is real

and beyond that nothing shows

 

for what there is inside of us

may be something we will never see

until we find our center

and only then can we be free

 

free from what controls you

free from what will bring you down

but a freedom where you can truly know thy self

is a freedom that can be found

 

so when we look into that mirror

there is something we may find

that the self that confines us

existed only in our mind
