Narcissus Is Narcissus No Way Out
Narcissus …
Why poor Narcissus is Narcissus?
Narcissus is the only speaker,
The good one n only listener
Invited to invent words
To make sense and justify world
Speaking to himself, Narcissus plays
Time, truth, Narcissus goes in all ways
Narcissus was damned, ate from the forbidden apple
Narcissus is Narcissus, made of seduction
From which the cancer grew and the memory was lost
his mind is the cancer,thereby everything has become a question
If mind is cancer, seduction is curse then full knowledge shall be the cure
But Narcissus is human, only gods know for sure
Victorious cancer stands alone, feeding selfishness that can never cease
Here in building rockets or walking on moon, that love grows and increase
One day , Narcissus came by a stream, stunned by his reflection
Seduction has been always his fate, for which will always bend
Gods as well, creating and thinking make them with Narcissus in one hand
All Forgetting that in solitude mind is the major deception
admiring himself more and more
nothing to do but being Narcissus the poor
Narcissus plunged in water, no one saw him again
That was the sad story of eternal madness in vain :
‘Narcissus never begins, never ends
Narcissus is Narcissus, never understands’
