The Looking Glass
Looking through the looking glass,Everything is backwards.Hate is love and love is hate,And truth not really matters. Live in dreamland all you want,The real world, what is that?Fantasy, oh fantasy,Fiction now indeed is fact. Logic, reason, what are those?Needed not, I suppose.Make it up and go along,Play a tune and sing a song. Who needs … Continue reading The Looking Glass
