Man in the Mirror

Prevalence
Shaped the values
He grew to acquire from yore
Modern society is bereft
 
He plods on with life
Onus and sundry
Baggage and bondage
The filth that surrounds
 
As a child he had dreams of changing the World
In a state of wakefulness
Decades later
He seeks answers to the happenstance of the vice versa
 
Engulfing darkness
Can it extinguish the light at the end of the tunnel?
Moments of mirth invigorate
Oscillation of life and its cycles
 
The struggle rages on ...
