    Truth Revealed

     A mirror gifts
    the power to walk away, or not.
    At least no one else is the wiser;
    for as the image goes
    so the mind goes.
    But always,
    there is a panic
    to hide, quickly hide--
    from the contempt of the camera,
    for it imprisons
    Forever.
    And then wise will the mind be
    to the reality;
    for the truth, once revealed,
    does not have the power
    to walk away.

    This is awesome. I never thought of mirrors quite like this before. Well done!

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
