THE MIRROR

Is this world as it appears?
Unsure, I asked my favorite mirror
Mirror, mirror, my old friend--tell me no, it’s not the end
Of music, dreams, and skies so blue
Of mother’s touch…and father’s too
The mirror stood silent as I cried
It showed my fear, I saw my lies
The eyes…..those eyes. Do I know those eyes?
That face I sort of recognize
Please tell me, mirror-who is he
Is he simply fantasy?
Does he have a heart, a soul?
Are his dreams impossible?
This strange man I now see
Is he you or is he me?
The mirror reflects on what I say
But not a word from it today
They say we’re only bits of sand
Nothing much to understand
Gazing at my favorite mirror
Things are not as they appear

THE REPTILIAN MALE

Why are men such poor communicators?....
because the fear of being annialated by other men?

Men perpetuate their ignorance in this fashion.

An AL Tribune forum response

Sneak over to the Tribune poll on handguns, if you dare. You can almost hear the hundreds of chambers clicking shut, loaded and ready to shoot. These people live for guns, whether toys or weapons....or both.
Peace will never come as long as people are yet enamored with weapons of destruction....and killing. The enjoyable killing of animals by sportsmen is a way for them to vent primal instincts. To the killer a rational reason always exists. An upsurge of fear and mistrust does not help. Some societies do better than others, which is worth study. Others, lacking proper laws, quickly devolve into butchery.
Without laws forbidding murder, etc where would our society go?? We pride ourselves on our virtuousness, but it is the threat of harsh consequences that keep many humans 'virtuous'.
