MIRROR - Blogtober 2020

Mirror

The mirror tells lies: You're just like your dad."

Debauchery extreme narcissism

Addicted to pleasure escapism

Call me his name nothing makes me more mad

Cycle of ruin repeat and be damned

Evolution can't stop barbarism

Throw in a big dose of chauvinism

Pulled to the abyss by the anchor dragged

I sought the gurus with my well-laid plans

Read the holy books got down on my knees

Worked the program to escape the disease

Repeatedly of you I washed my hands

     The reflection doesn't lie you see him

     I just can't shake this ancestral sin

--Shenandoah Lynd
