THE MIRROR, a poem



The idol, his foremost trait is greed
a voracious appetite for wealth
praise, purchased sex, gross food
His admirers are warped
striving to emulate him

Cheering his selfishness
as a towering achievement
his bold narcissism
as worthy of imitation
a reflection of themselves

In an age of i-shopping
i-phones, i-everything
an I-president has emerged
Ever ready to say
I am perfect
