Mirror Image

You need not remind me of my mortality,

The evidence is reflected in the mirror.

But then you smugly preach about morality,

Come back down to Earth, maybe you'll see things clearer.

I like the taking in of different perspectives from a single image and the challenge to the idea of what is right and perhaps being judgmental is wrong. We sometimes have to go with stillness inspite of knowing time won't stop to observe things more clearly.
