    Look

    Take a look around you

    Is it everything you dreamed?

    Is it what you always wanted?

    Is it even what you need?

    Look at your life and how you live it

    Did it turn out as you liked?

    Or are you a perfect stranger

    Living someone else's life?

    When you see your reflection in the mirror

    Is it who you want to be?

    Or is it someone you don't know

    Is it someone else you see?

    Do you see yourself as others do?

    Or do you look inside?

    Because if you go by looks alone

    Shallowness may be your only guide.

    Next time you look into the mirror

    Look past everything you see

    Look deep inside not just to who you are

    But who you want to be.

    It's a joke poem. No way will I put up a serious one. Unless you ask....

    Reconstructing Heaven (Or...Something Happened on the Way to Heaven)

    I always wanted to paint brighter stars--

    Better the faded, broken wooden ones.

    Somehow the hobby became a bizarre,

    Impassioned attempt to construct new suns.

    Just as the stars from flawed wood crack in two,

    So do the suns crumble in gold splendor.

    Reparation made with more paint and glue

    Cannot keep suns-that-were-stars together.

    For the tragic wood I openly pined;

    The adequate design failed to render.

    Still I loved it purely with eyes too blind

    To see that it would make perfect tinder.

    The sun-making business is not mine.

    Only beautiful stars by God will shine.

    if only i could waste some time

    trying hard to make things rhyme

    had no housework left to do

    spend my time amusing you

    if only i never had to cook

    lay back down and read my book

    never have to go to work again

    maybe I'll return to sane

    and so the dishes lie unwashed

    my hair unbrushed

    and had my rush

    Pan-ku use pancosmism use existentialism use altruism devoid of an "ism" a poem isn't something yet words only this and much less words devoid of meaning words devoid of spirit or soul words devoid of fee.
