Reflection by a Waterfall
Dr Abe V Rotor
Reflect not my folly and greed,Never Narcissus of old;Of the deities on his shoulder,Of youth never growing old.
Reflect not of the future gloom,Of Heaven denied and lost,Lost pristine and the butterflies,And of the Malthusian ghost.
Death is an empty shell I seeLying in the murky depth,And a lone deer in memoryShall man someday pay his debt.
The Good Life, oh we always say,Is progress and destiny,Taming both time and spaceTo create our sense of beauty.
Narcissus, what lesson have youTaught mankind since you fell in?Oh, beauty, the land of the doomed,Where lust is the greatest sin. ~
