Double vision is a strange treachery
a trick of the eye meant to deceive
carried on the clarity of silvered glass
a contradiction of all that will come to pass

We see in carbon copies of all that is
a sad duplicate of our present reality
twice fooled before we have even begun
swallowing each of the lies that seek to govern

Manipulation brings us smoke before the mirror
a soft gas light to undermine our lying eyes
deconstructing worlds and truth in a movement inhuman
a duplicity meant to line the pockets of every shadow

Double vision is a strange treachery
a betrayal we accept with every new iteration
carried on the clarity of silvered glass
destroying the hope we once held fast – Caroline A. Slee
