Metropolis/Looking Glass

Smash the game, 

Change the rules, 

Start over to a new tune, 

Follow no drummer. 


You can’t have Superman 

Without Lois Lane; 

He spun the world backwards for her. 


When it’s meant to be 

You fit like a lock and a key, 

Stumbles are meaningless, 

You’re pulled together 

Like a magnet, 

Locked together 

In perpetual attraction. 


Mundane dreams 

Expose the flawed mating dance 

With no promises of anything more than 

Hard work and determination 

To paint the dreams with color. 


I seek an even playing field 

Where no one stands above and you kneel at each other’s feet. 


Our view controls our perception, 

Our perception drives our actions; 

When your view is flawed 

You will only choose 

The wrong door 

No amount of time 

Or pondering can change that. 


Instead, 

You must find the root, 

Cut it free, 

Free yourself from its burden; 

Even if you find it wraps around the heart 

It can’t be left to fester, 

Poison only feeds itself. 


In the end we are all our own physician and must heal ourselves.
