Mirrors of Madness

Mirror of Madness
There it is again,
	reflecting in the embers 
of the once wild fires of freedom.

A vision of madness
	burning in secluded rage on the continent, 
        and off in the distance  in Paris.

Ill respecters of life and irrational purveyors 
	of God and faith.

God is weeping.

It is lucid madness 
        igniting the flame of hatred,
        living and hiding in the shadows.

A mirror of madness
	that fiends love, faith and belief
	molding it to befuddled untruths.

Break the glass
	and shine the light of revelation.

The mirror of madness must end.

Let us weep no more.
