Analysis of Objects in the Mirror
"The objects in the mirror
Are closer than they appear"
Another way for me to say
Mirages disappear.
Believe not all you hear.
"There's more than meets the eye"
And certainly that's why
Before you leap into the deep
Lake you must really try;
Be careful when up high!
Remember "all that glitters" might
Just not be gold but just pyrite.
Don't judge that book before you look
Inside to see what he did write
To mesmerize your mind tonight.
