The mirror.

antra.coree

People break mirror,

and throw them down on earth as it was never part of their lives...

 

The mirror holds itself,

stands up holding its shattered pieces.

And someone tries to fix it.

 

It hurts the person who broke it,

They move away.

And the mirror again falls.

 

This time with more shattered pieces but with no hope...

And when they can't find better than that old glass,

They come back...

 

And when it cuts thier leg,

They complain how hurt they are because of it's sharpness...

They complain it no longer talks with them...

They complain its no longer beautiful...

    There are those that find defects in everything even themselves although they deny it. They are blind to the duality of nature and how everything has both good and bad and it is our choice which we look at. Nicely written

        People aren’t very fond of self examination. Most people prefer to pick at the perceived flaws in others rather than take a long hard look at themselves. Great work.
