Untold Folklore Pt. III: The Vanity Mirror

By RiVeN

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

It's been a while Since a situation of this kind Has come up in the family Yes It has been a long time The votes have been counted and tallied In favor of the family Against John They consider punishing him For doing very little possibly no wrong "He is hindering the growth of the family He brings nothing to the table money wise" The grandfather points out "This is not a democracy But a tyranny run by a system of old guys" Paul shouts trying to defend his blood He should have known Uncovering the past was an unwise choice And now the ground will forever become John's eternal home The bright lights of Hollywood and Beverly Hills dim As a new breed takes shape And new tragedies begin Not even the mirrors see the true citizens Maybe that is why they are vanity mirrors They reflect what has been done in the past And what is in store in the future near The End?
