when i look in the mirror...

when
i look in the mirror
i See
a reflection of Me

i See
a young boy
playin' with his Toy
i See that Joy

i See
a teenager
a stranger
tryin' ta' be a' RE-arranger

i See
a young Man
just tryin' ta' take a Stand
best as he can

i See
a Man
just tryin' ta' Understand
what It takes ta' be a Man

i See
a Husband
a Father
a Daddy
a Lover
just wishin' for a Do-Over
a 4-leaf Clover

i See
an Old Man
just tryin' ta' Stand
just listenin' ta' the Band

when
I look into the mirror
i See my Eyes

when
i look Into the Mirror
i Face all my Lies

when
I look into The Mirror
i see all my Why's

i may have an Affection
for That Reflection
but i hate those Ali-Byes

i Hate
all the Good-Byes
reflected
in those Eyes

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
