Thanks, But No Thanks, Dorian Gray

Dorian Gray came to me the other day Offered to trade his portarit with one of mine I politely refused and had this to say Thank you, but I already have one that's fine Everyday I do something really vile It stares back at me with a most ugly face Evil thoughts and deeds my mien with scars defile Thank you, but my mirror does my conscience trace

Cleverly expressed, Karam! We have to accept who we are and how we are; those who don't will never have peace of mind and heart. Regards // paul
