    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!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
