A fickle mind with slight of hand
checking times by counting sand
he saw a book of warring lands.
The saddening book that caught the eye
happy people sighed and cried
while the man looked to the sky.
Shocking rain upon his face
coldness fell with chilling grace
in that very sorrowed place.
A counting sheep that would not sleep
jumping though it could not leap
that man collapsed into a heap.
Maddening sights laid before
he found to look was quite a chore
and this is why the man had sworn.

Looking through a thin black glass
straight at me he stares right back.
His side white and very clean
it's what is called the perfect scene.
In his hands I see a sight
familiar to me my hands held tight.
Holding what I like to dream
he has those very precious things.
Ambitions which I want to hold
in my hands he sees but mold.
Straight past me he sees my need
what I want but can't yet reach.
