Unchanged Faith Of Mirror Poem by V P Mahur

Mirror on the wall
A silent critic of all
Every day it looks at me
As the time's inevitable call

Memorizes me times and again
Without any joy or any pain
That one more day has reduced
From my life's powerless chain

Though every lost day here
Leaves a scar on the face clear
Yet I don't want to accept
Due to some hidden fear

It was same mirror when I was a child
And same when a young man wild
I kept on changing with every moment
But its faith never changed, even a mild

It tells me how I am perishing
Under the wheel of time so crushing
But I scold it smiling senselessly
Neglecting its truthful warning
