No, this isn't frivolous at all, I was just reminded of Morden again. Morden (by Kathryn Andersen) Shadow Man Turn around and you're there dangling a lure of heart's desire, building a snare of self-interest. Drown them in honey and they thank you. How many flies have you caught with a smile and a song? Shadow Man How did you step upon this path? Was it fear of death, or did you leap at the chance to be on the winning side? What offer did you not refuse? What did *you* want? Or did they give you a choice at all, Shadow Man? Does that hollow smile hide an empty echoing soul screaming in silence? Never, never alone, a puppet whose strings will not be cut - A shadow of a man. ----------------------------- What do you think? (My first Babylon 5 poem, I usually write Blake's 7 ones.)
