A Face In The Looking Glass
There is a face in the looking glass,
No need to disguise it, I don't recognise it,
There is a face in the looking glass, looking back at me.
There is a face in the looking glass,
It's lines and it's tension, are too grim to mention,
There is a face in the looking glass, as clear as it can be.
There is a face in the looking glass,
The street grime is streaked, from the tears at it's cheeks,
There is a face in the looking glass, it stares back emptily.
There is a face in the looking glass,
It once had a home, and was not forced to roam,
There is a face in the looking glass, it's name is refugee.

Thanks Jennifer, there but for the grace of God eh. It's a difficult topic to write about without people taking it politically at the moment, so had to choose the words carefully.
