Smoking Mirrors


SMOKING MIRRORS

It must be exhausting always being right
How are you able to carry the weight of the world the way you do
I would show a bit more respect
But disagree with your arrogant attitude
Do you feel peace or are you so consumed with hate
Buried so deep you can't see who you are in the mirror
Blinded by a common face
It is so easy to point fingers
Even easier to judge
Pitching your stone out your glass window
Until it crashes your neighbor's glass walls
It is so easy to see someone else's problems
Looking from the outside in
Turn the mirror to yourself
While it is still smoking
Hide behind the dark cloud
You may even get some sympathy
Since my methods are deemed unorthodox
Guess it never occurred to you
You may be the one that is wrong
Not sure why we can't love one another
Forgive and forget
But we always prefer living under the weight of hatred
Including myself
But today I decided to get off the ride
My head was spinning and making me sick
So instead I tried being nice
Asked my enemy to make a wish
It is not my fault they wished ill will on mankind
Wait, my mistake, it was only wished upon me
Self entitled greedy little bastards
Always lurking in the trees
Sorry you do not dictate my moods
No matter how childish you are allowed to be
Remember that smoking mirror
The one you hide behind
Well, simply because I chose to close my eyes
Does not mean I am blind
Does it make a bigger person to stand your ground
While flexing your muscles
I thought the meek would inherit the earth
Not the tyrants and devils
