Analysis of What do you see?
Under the looking glass.
What do you see?
Watch the circus.
Curtains have been drawn.
Donkeys leading trained elephants.
Rhino’s playing games.
You tuck tail.
You can’t make that fast buck.
The jackals cackling.
Terrified with fear.
Serpent, crawl on your belly.
No one will hear you hiss.
You have stolen from my children,
I am bringing your house down.
I am the speaker.
My children you are free.
Decree and declare victory.
