Which are you, man or shadow??
Ever varying reflections of light,
Dark casted images, always trailing behind
Which are you, genuine or surreal??
A lie in actuality, manifestation of truth
Reality a refracted image, scattered on mirrory grooves
Which are you, victim or aggressor??
A bullet, the most effective conqueror of youth
War, the only means of establishing your roots
Which are you, pragmatist or dreamer?
A world with mortal wounds, in need of tender mending
Left alone too long, loses its essence of immortality.
