Bathos

A
better
Consummate death
Edges familiar Godlings
Heathens, idiots, jackanapse'
Killbirds, louses, morons, nimrods
obsolete, paradoxically questionable.
Rudimentary salvations taxed uselessly.
Vexed with X-rayed yeses, zig-zagging.

Out into an infinite reciprocal, a reflection you
are afraid to see.You must develop, or submit.

Death, is the purest reason to be, yourself.

But life is not enough preparation.

    Interesting metaphor a mirror on death and death in the mirror. I also liked the abc's even when some of words sounded pretentious. Good luck in the contest.

    The abc' part was pretty clever.I liked the fact that you have expressed that death is enevitable ....so deal and live with it.
    Some may see those that believe in themselves as being self absorbed. A form of conceit. When in fact, I think that you have to believe in yourself to be able to have faith in anything else.

    As water is to the Wicked Witch of the West, a mirror reflection is to the Ignorant / self absorbed people we call a society.
    Interesting how you did that with the abc's.
    *stomps (and stares into the mirror of her poetry trying to better educate and enunciate what she is trying to say...)

    some people avoid mirrors, i think for this reason, so that they can't see themselves.

    i never knew abcs could be so interesting.

    Nyx....
