Mirror Mirror on the Wall

By Vivaan Bhalla

Mirror mirror
On the wall
Who is he
But a false dawn

He speaks politely
And treads carefully
He’s kind
Yet completely blind

Mirror mirror
On the wall
Who is he
But an ignorant liaison

He’s active online
Boastful about his robust spine
He’s strongly pious
Ignoring his own bias

Mirror mirror
On the wall
Who is he
But a chosen pawn

He calls for action
Everyday a new distraction
He fights the needy
But feeds the guilty

Mirror mirror
On the wall
Who is he
But an imposter when the curtain falls

His compassion is strong
His energy is abound
His efforts seem worthwhile
While he sheds many a crocodile

His pretence doesn’t subside
It’s odd seeing him cry
But from this distance
The mirror never lies
