Gray Image

Not satisfied with who you see, the mirrored image lies to thee~ Compared in thought your mind projects, sifts and strains, retains, rejects~ Computerized and digitized original sin is realized~ Guilt creeps in and steals from you, your child’s eyes and faith so true~ Wondrous world of innocence, dies in right and wrong’s defense~ Purpose lost, you cling and hold, reshape your clay to fit the mold~ No longer satisfied with you, seek what you deem is right and true~ Your mind projects divinity, and buries your humanity~ Imprisoned in a fortress strong, gray and dim your child’s song~ Color and light, all but gone and death becomes your wishful dawn~ Copyright © Satprem 2012
