Mirror Mirrorr

I reason within reason

My personality goes with the seasons

My light may dim and flicker

But it will never die.

The pictures a distraction

Our reactions just a fraction

Of the truth and heart of the matter

Our obsession with the morbid

Our attraction to our anger

Fans the flames of destruction

Vultures feed upon blood splatters

Rumors of war

Twitterverse explaining

With what little information

it may have pertaining-

To nothing at all, really.

Our voices speak in unison

Put our words into motion

Causing yet more division

Between what's us and them.

But little do we know 

the more we isolate

The house once standing on foundation

Now broken, desolate.

Our self-righteous indignation

is merely a deflection

of the sin that we have present 

within our own existence.

Our hatred a reflection

Of our greatest fears

But I am rested

in blessed assurance

that I am not alone

And I will carry on

When I look upon this mirror

I see my face is gone.

My opinion

Is important to me,

But in the greatest scheme of things

Maybe not as great as He.

I empty myself of all of me

I want to be a reconciled
to the One that created me

A redeemed soul

Nothing less, please

and nothing more.
Sometimes laying our swords
down is the greatest act of strength in war
Sometimes reasoning is better than defeating
Sometimes a kind word turns away wrath
Sometimes it's not too late to turn back
But you only get that one chance.
The tongue of the wise
makes knowledge acceptable
Maybe they didn't receive your Word
Because your methods were contemptible
But what do I know?
I'm just a nobody, like everybody else.
