The man in the glass.

Someone posted this poem on a forum I hang out in.

I thought it was fantastic, and very apt at this point.

What do you think?

The Man in the Mirror- Anon
---------------

If you get what you want in your struggle for self,
And the world makes you King for a day
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that Man has to say.

For it isn't a Man's father, mother or wife
Whose judgement upon him must pass
The fellow whose verdict counts most in his life
Is the man staring back from the glass

He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest
For he's with you clear up to the end.
And you've passed your most dangerous difficult test
If the Man in the glass is your friend.

You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass.
But your final reward will be heatache and tears
If you've cheated the Man in the glass.
