Pictures Of Purple People |
| I saw this mirror, I looked through it |
| Reflections looked most better than all |
| Cared too much, hating hatred |
| Seeing things deformed and almost cold |
| Crying sadly, shielding gladly my eyes |
| From the ugly side of fat men seeing, almost |
| Thin men peeping, sleeping, looking, falling |
| Dizzy from their windows high |
| The men of magic thinking if evil |
| He was bringing sunless children |
| Seeing all the bad |
| 'Cos beauty was too ugly |
| And faceless people |
| Wondered at the beautiful forms they had |
| Now the mirror’s broken |
| I’m smiling, seeing good things |
| Yet despite foot splinters swirl in the air |
| Forever call him beauty |
| Children come at night time |
| Weird things blackening the fairest maiden’s hair |
