don't think you need doppelganger and reflection.
'Love yourself' at the best is a cliche, at worse a distraction.
v1 fourth line doesn't make much sense.
'On a straight mirror you stretch the glass' is an interesting line I quite like.

nice descriptions, think it needs a main character if you are going to go into his psyche though with lines such as 'left to cling to his indignant assertion'.
Like the line breaks too

I like the way you get this poem to flow out of such long lines.
The only pick is that it is a little too eclectic in the images it throws in rather than building up a central metaphor.

I don't think people are complaining though.
It was just the odds that threw me.

At first this made sense, then the bit about 3 women to one man confused me, then I thought
the chance of a man holding a position of superiority is 1 in 4 (out of four people one will be a man).
One person holding the given position equates to victory for men everywhere.
Not sure I believe the figures by the way, women outnumber men the most in wartorn countries where the men go out to fight, on the whole.
Anyway an interesting little puzzle at any rate.

'That every move, gesture, connotation and
Inflection is calculated, ingenuine'
Interesting, seemed to stick out. So much of what we do is following patterns instinctually. Saying hello etc.

You seem to have what you want to say worked out. How about the use of poetic means to convince the reader.

I see, the smoke from cracks being volcanic eruptions, cosmic defect etc.
In that case I think the poem would benefit from drawing the two together rather than mentioning human defects, universe defects apart.

I think the syllable sounds of a word are more important than syllables per line. That is why the flow of different haikus can be so variable.
The only problem I see here is forestall (the same as stall?) it seems to stop my reading dead.

No need for the double line breaks.
I like some of the description, perhaps the analysis needs to be a bit deeper than 'the world is going to end, it is all our fault'.

Try something to connect the reader, not a cliche, cliches have long since lost their evocative power.
Many people have written poems like this, give or take a few words here and there. Why should we like yours?

Through not threw and snapped not snaped.
Could be sheared of redundancies like 'I have to wait'.
Other than that a good effort

Severe distaste for vs racism.
I guess it is loving the sinner vs hating the sin. Someones jewishness exists outside the common humanity we all hold.
It is the jewishness which horus rails against I think.
