Narcissus Is Narcissus No Way Out

Narcissus … Why poor Narcissus is Narcissus? Narcissus is the only speaker, The good one n only listener Invited to invent words To make sense and justify world Speaking to himself, Narcissus plays Time, truth, Narcissus goes in all ways Narcissus was damned, ate from the forbidden apple Narcissus is Narcissus, made of seduction From which the cancer grew and the memory was lost his mind is the cancer,thereby everything has become a question If mind is cancer, seduction is curse then full knowledge shall be the cure But Narcissus is human, only gods know for sure Victorious cancer stands alone, feeding selfishness that can never cease Here in building rockets or walking on moon, that love grows and increase One day , Narcissus came by a stream, stunned by his reflection Seduction has been always his fate, for which will always bend Gods as well, creating and thinking make them with Narcissus in one hand All Forgetting that in solitude mind is the major deception admiring himself more and more nothing to do but being Narcissus the poor Narcissus plunged in water, no one saw him again That was the sad story of eternal madness in vain : ‘Narcissus never begins, never ends Narcissus is Narcissus, never understands’
