Global Citizen

I watch myself before
This great mirror
Of the global village;

I am nolonger wearing
The blood-shot eyes of the moran-
The sun shines in my eyes,

And an enigmatic smile flames like 
A promising dawn
On the threshhold of dusk;

From this great face too,
Rises the dawn in
A halo of flames.
