BROKEN MIRROR

Darkness on the mountain of duplicity

Chattered repository and the shadows of real entities

Puzzled of beautiful images among the broken thorns

Blissfulness of shepherd dillydallying on wolves' mat

Damaged propeller on the slope-sided hills of ravishing cities.

Frustrating application of gathered momentum

Apotheosis of intellectuals in the villages of sonorous lamentation

Trees of shady groves have been hewed from behind

Binoculars are available to the custodian of blindness

Implementation of protocols from the master of obduracy.

Mirror! Remove your structured weaving cobwebs

That have hide you in the locked alcove of many darkness

Mirror! Unveil the masquerade of many colours

Dancing to the muse of many winds of discontentment

Mirror! Look at the nakedness in royal attire

Commanding the passengers of the open market.

Broken vessels on the move to the greener pastures

Pretending to dress in the skyscrapping images of heightened culture

Their backs are bent in obeisance to adoring mammon

Broken mirrors glory in the pain of momentary freedom

The fore is a thick bush and behind is a backlash.
