Off With Their Heads

I look into some people's faces,
And wonder what they see
All my flaws and deep disgraces
Shown outside of me?
Peace is just my sole intention-
To murder Troubles met
"Truth" is such an old invention
That white and black reflect
(Like shadows on a silhouette)

I suppose not. An actual review would have been helpful, though; thanks
