House of Cards.

Plastic in entropy,
It cannot gaze a
mirror.
In shards it hides,
biding its' lies,
Segregation and
fear.

Wastrel of the temptress
yearns,
Deep and still it slowly
burns,
Saturated by every
tear.

So the beast, he knows
himself far beyond
the shards,
In that mirror it sees
itself and topples
its' house of cards...
