Mirror

What is a mirror for, in this day and age,
Where introspection died
And youth will not decay?
Who needs a mirror,
When you have a phone.
You can just take selfies,
And leave your date alone.
Why look to mirrors,
As symbols to reflect?
When if I don’t look like you,
You show me no respect.
Where are the mirrors?
They must have disappeared.
In this time of guns and hate,
You are the thing you’ve feared.
Mirrors are the shadow,
The dark side of the soul.
It takes more than breaking mirrors,
To dig yourself a hole.
