Looking Glass

Looking Glass
Copyright - 1/25/96

Space and time means absolutely nothing
As we soar high to nonexistence
Seeing paranoid with the sight
A fantastic future to behold
Watch from elsewhere as it unfolds.

Dreams and nightmares run alike
Plague me in sleep and wake
Clairvoyance bestowed upon only me
What happens next?
Misplaced diabolical hex.

Nothing seems real in this make believe world
Death knocking at the doors
Awake, yet starving to death
Mental breakdown and relief
Staring in disbelief.

The future can be terribly cruel
Inescapable and unfortunately plain
Black and white with no gray
From far behind take a look
And that's all it took.

Looking glass today for morrow
Fleeing the pain and sorrow
Looking inside, seeing the horror
Can't take it, time to borrow
One look in the glass, reap what you sew.

Dreamscape lighting into unknown reality
I drift to and fro
When I wake in a sweat
No escape, no turning time back
Sordid game a safe to crack.

Looking glass takes no prisoners
Sleeps awakened from my fears
Cannot stop the uncontrollable tears
Etched in my mind totally rendered
One look in the looking glass, the end is near.
