Hang Me In the Mirror

(Wems Henry Temmy Psalm 81)

Hang me in the mirror 
Let there be no intention to fix my egg
Do not detach the mirror from the wall
Black hair shines better in its reflection 

Wait till you leave no trace in sight of the actor 
Holding the thought firm in flashback  to peg
The rare trick behind how its trace forestall
Staring at the old face with a different complexion

But here, we are not alone with no other
Viewing one from enmity but as brother

Tomorrow's greatness for ones in turn 
Yesterday's glue gunk its prime to burn
Today's graceful spark may not meet up choice 
In favor of the super million duper boys

Difference be marked of background status
We do forget sometimes that the difference is a plus 
Working through it, we have to be the best 
Tough though readily prepared for the coming test

Liking each to the triumphant glory
Of who is to tell a grass to grace story
