Looking In The Mirror Poem by Ruta Mohapatra

Looking In The Mirror

Rating: 5.0


Well, she has seen everything now
All the whites and all the blacks
And all the colours in between

Nothing shocks her anymore
Well, not to a very great extent
Being human means being weak

In some ways
Being a bundle of contradictions
Having opposite poles

So is life
Glorious in all its imperfections
Gold with certain impurities

Only if she could remove
Some of the impurities in her
And shine like pure gold

Nature smiles
Looking at the audacity of man
Finding faults with its creations
