LOOKING GLASSES

For all has sinned,
All has fallen short...

Shall I sing songs of luminance
To this dark depths,
That we may ride on the crest of the waves,
For to view the Elysian fields.

"Arise! And sing of perfections".
These words sound odd on a devil's lips.

We are looking glasses; full of faults.
We have become grand tragedies-
A delight to the god of shame,
For we are quickened to pick faults of our fellows.
We have forgotten that we all are imperfections,
And have become devils seeking to expose the devil in others,
While the devil in us lurks to bare us open to the winds of shame.
Are we so lost in our smooth climb that we forget that a slip could crash us too?

"Arise! And sing of perfections".
These words sound odd on a devil's lips.

Let us look in glasses,
For all has sinned,
All has fallen short...

We are looking glasses; full of faults,
Isn't our fellow's imperfection a blessing?
A means that the faults they exude,
We take care to rid ourselves of.
