Mirror in a casket

Narcissism follows us
right down to our graves
from the place where we lay
to that slab in the morgue
a product of tedium;
through a lifetime in vain
praising false deities
of aesthetic perfection
Narcissism consumes us
capacities deep
vanity a demon
we cannot slay
we live, we breathe
reflections cast
a moral void eternally so
Narcissism blackens
our souls
as we speak
while morticians mask
our natural physique,
even in a casket
superficial we are
condemned to this ailment
six feet under

Oh this is awesome. My friend this is fantastic in all it's glory. A trait that rules the hearts and mirrors of the world. Spoken with truth and soul this is great writing. I like the stand of the poem and the message couldn't be any clearer.

| haha, that one nailed it. I won't weigh in on narcissism's qualities, good or bad, but I'm liking the prevalence aspect. Digging the structure, too. |
