Reflections

CATEGORY

life

 When I look into the mirror sometimes I see perfection
Other days it's the opposite perception
What's really behind all these fragmented pieces of light?
Is it the wrongdoers tellin you to do right?
Or is it flipped? The straight A wiz kid of the class would give his left arm to be considered bad
Reflections, the reception of electronic deception
Children are programmed by mass media to look forward to conception
It seems as if everything is inhumane
Everyday someone is robbed, every night someone is slain
Some people feed off negativity, for all they know is pain
As I reflect I'm so thankful that is not from where I came
I lived around the corner from opportunity and next door to unity
That's why thinking outside the box was never new to me
My reflections take me in so many different directions
However one of them is not reverse because time cannot be reimbursed
Yet and still I reflect; About the knowledge I've shared and also how I've acquired intellect
Always listen to your elders, never should you disrespect because the jewels they drop are rare all of those you should collect
Reflections, bitter and sweet recollections, precious lessons learned maybe even bridges burned
When it's time for expiration and it's all said and done
All you have are your reflections because those you can't outrun
