The Interview

Place: Honourable mention 


“Oh, my dear mirror!
You show the queerer,					 
The beautiful and the ugly,
As they are!

Everything on the left 
Stays on the left;
Everything on the right 
Stays on the right.

What you see, you show,
Neither less nor more!
You’re the best judge, 
That we all know!

Even for the sake of fun
Against none, 
You never show 
An iota of grudge!”

When I ask, if it has anything 
to say on the contrary, it humbly says,

“If I’m curved inwardly or outwardly,
I show you the things quite differently!

If I’m broken into many pieces, 
A shattered image you get from me!

I’m impartial to the core when I’m flat,
And reflect exactly what is before me!”

You are portrayed altogether differently
By the people with crooked minds!

People with plain minds portray you as you’re!
A great lesson from the mirror, we’ve to learn!!
