Disaster!

Letters seem straight
Out of the mirror
But crooked inside
Making delusion
With their stage-show
Catching the innocent mind.

Water looks pure in image
In taste saline
For destroying life
Comes mercury up in the well
Place to place sits a crazy monkey
Holding a razor in his hand.

In a crematorium one can see
Rotting flesh and blood
How long could one breathe
So much one has to think
How many houses erupted
The roaring-cruel sea!

Swans get down their Rosary
Now worn by crows
From The Caretaker of the garden
So scared is the branch!
Visible red like blood
Shredded beet into pieces.

Wise sentiments...well expressed philosophicals....and i can read it from top to bottom. You have solid command of English...On this site, it is best to use it as your 1st language ,as i'd say more than 95% of this site only writes in English, despite the many languages members speak.Solid Penning, Abnish...\\\FjR///
