Who is the most untouchable the most isn't needed as untouchable is an absolute
And cushioned from fall? a fall' would read better
'Cause bees and ants don't matter.
I need the Chinamen in check,
Four metal doors for the gold bricks
And cryogenics, is all. sounds like a new world order is being discussed.
Don't worry about defeated humane-ity,
My mirrored friend- nor the water;
Nor the fish-fleas nor the excuses
Drawn for embezzlement of the poor. the rhetoric is becoming pointless and personal
'Cause the world's for the strong,
Why- whoever can stomach it!
It's always been this way, mirror-
Of this I'm vehemently sure. i think it needs a stronger question and answer.

all criticism welcome
I'm trying to think of this as I would read a fairytale- it seems to help. I'm not sure but I *think* this particular "mirror mirror" framework is making it easier to read? How would I go about doing this without it?
On reading this a couple of times I realize I should try to be more poetic using some imagery? I know this is a weak area, but what about other areas?
Tried to make it bounce quite well. I am really happy with that last verse and what it means to me. It feels perfect for tying it up.
thanks for the read.
