Fractions of Fractions

Mirrors Everywhere

Fractions of Fractions

Fake news, I`m tired
Friendly fire, heart's desire
Bullets bounce, president denounced
Flying faster - higher.

It`s unfair, terrorist scare,
What to wear, not to share,
Explosions thud, blood through the mud
Breathing in the air.

Need a rest, for the best
Knife in the back, through the chest
Who wonders, who worries, who weeps
Wind blowing for no less

Everything is a mirror
No matter what they say
These Mirrors are reflections
That only work one way

No one cares, but you
We look the other way
Yet we only gaze ourselves
Every. Single. Day.

Mirrors Everywhere
The Fish of the Sea

Hi Max, I believe the first step in making a difference starts with me and you. So yeah, 'we only gaze at ourselves'. Nice one.

Hi Cleo! Thanks so much and so very true, it does seem like we get caught in the minor details sometimes and forget about the bigger picture though. Although I belive everyone has the same goal, making a positive impact on society, but that just makes it 10 times hard to achieve... I really enjoy your comments thanks again, kind regards.

Tis true Marion, it's like an article I read about labour / Republican being to immoral and liberal / Democrat too corrupt... seems like it's not just one country... so very sad. Kind regards, thanks Marion, your friend Max

Good to see you take on problems of society in general - this is politics.

Not entirely sure about the following (but sure you have your own logic)

Everything is a mirror
No matter what they say
These Mirrors are reflections
That only work one way

Lol I tried Yiyan! Not sure about my attempt though ;) Yes the mirror analogy is about how society only focuses on themselves rather that the benefits of other. Perhaps a materialism metaphor is what I was trying to accomplish. Thanks so much for you comments though! Haven't had a lot of time to read others work lately, but I'll get round to it this arvo. Peace to you my friend! Kind regards, TFOTS
