God doesn't play favorites & Satan certainly doesn't, but Angels & demons?

76 – Mimic Trust
Looking into a mirror & I'm a mask wearer - What's the point? Take a picture - It'll last longer; Mirror-masks mimic trust - just Pretend portraits & puppet parrots Watching tilted hourglasses Spilling time just to rhyme Chronic sands, synced clock hands
