Don't look past the glass wall.

Don't see past the mirror.

The mountains aren't that tall,

and nothing's getting clearer.

Don't muse on the paradox,

and don't question authority.

Don't you *think*! Just match your socks,

and clean your dirty laundry.

mmm...now this I like. This is an excellent commentary on this age of conformity and refusal to accept reponsibility...god forbid you show individuality...just follow the crowd...you will be okay...
Excellent job here!
