(contra)Diction

Turn the mirror upside- down,

Turn the mirror upside- down, does it turn a frown to gladness

Paint a pauper's face a clown,

Paint a pauper's face a clown, does it hide the broken madness

Rivers overcome the land

A titan reaches out a hand

Single grain of desert sand

The queen earns a crown from a king who did not

And covers the earth in sadness
