Vasu Kumar - My Mirror Lies

Does your mirror reveal
What you think you are?
Mine doesn’t:
My mirror is a liar
In my mirror,
Many packs and many herds
Of wolves and cattle respire:
My mirror is a liar!
I search for the human;
I fail.
It shows me a blood thirsty vampire:
My mirror is a liar!
I search for the Mahatama;
I fail!
It shows me a malicious desire,
A desire to rule over a red,
And all red empire:
My mirror is a liar!
It shows me a false winged might;
It shows me a beast,
A beast so keen to make others fight!
I search for the human again;
And again I fail!
It shows me humanity burning in wild fire:
But I know;
My mirror is a liar!

Vasu Kumar
