Mirror Mirror

MIRROR MIRROR Mirror, mirror as i gaze at you on the wall, I am sure..... I am Paul not Paula I am 6" 2" I am not any shorter I am black I'm not white I ignore the darkness, embrace the light I have dreads with blond bits in my hair I'm a well built grizzly not a cute care bear But mirror answer me this am I clever or stupid Am I poisoned with the arrow of Cupid Have i mastered the written language, the spoken word or do I just talk shite or is the last statement absurd I look in the mirror i ask am a saint or a sinner Am i ugly Betty or a beauty pageant winner Does the sun shine when I enter or is the room empty when I leave Mirror on the wall I ask non but truth i implore you not to deceive Mirror mirror on the wall if I am the fairest then answer my call Mirror your a reflection back says what you see But I wonder how I reflect on others and how they see me Paul (Predman) Powell 24/5/11
