Francis Meyrick

Mirror, mirror on the wall
what do you think of us all?
As we posture, preen and pose
indulging, as the saying goes
in endless shifting of the mind
what do you think of humankind?

What do you think of our smiles
our devious little ways and wiles
the cunning of our greedy souls
the crafty way we chart our goals?
Do you ever wish we would
leave your weary sight for good?

“I think you humans might do well
to ponder Scripture words that tell
of Truth being shouted loud and clear
ringing from the rooftops here
the hidden dark revealed to light
that might just make you blush real bright… “
