The Mirror
(A lone voice whispers)
If Humanity looked in the mirror and could see its real face.
Would it end this destructive race?
Would it put an end to endless wars and demonizing those deemed less?
Those labelled with perceived flaws?
If Humanity looked in the mirror and could see its real face.
Would it change and lift us to a higher place?
Its self-obsessed power struggles, slowly disappearing without trace.
A dreams a dream until we dream it into being.
Many have tried before to knock on Humanity's door.
Maybe this time around it will be different.
Maybe this time, Humanity will be less belligerent.
