The looking glass

Looking through the looking glass

There was once a happy lad who

Had a loving mother, father and sister

There was happiness in every corner of his life.

Until a terrible evil came into his happy world

Now looking through the looking glass

He saw his mother and sister taken.

His father and he alone

He sees how awful mankind can be

Beating, torture, greed and murder

All in the name of genocide

For the master plan of a mad man

Now after the madness has ended

He sees himself in the looking glass

He no longer sees the happy boy he had been

Instead a skeleton of himself, just skin and bones and

Big black hollow eyes,

A ghost to haunt him the rest of his life.
