Masquerade
Do flowers and leaves wear masks?
Does the sun,the moon,the stars need masks?
For the civilized taking masks off is a tough task
The crippled man with the artificial leg...
The wood is his real self , his smile is fake
He curses those around him.Who does his destiny make?
The toddler next door laughing and giggling
To him living is all fun,frolic,chocolates and cake
He hasn't grown the mask to hide behind
That anger on his mother's face is a mask
To make him a "good boy" earn the love of all
The kid would love to roll in the slush ,play football
Trash! trash ! that teenage birthday party
Spidermen.Frogmen,Supermen,Bunnies
The delicious cake is cut--dinner is served
Masks are ripped off ,children jump to the food
They are smiling and happy,masks off for good
Where is the door leading to the maskless realm?
Sweet smelling talcum powder deodorant spray
Trendy,stylish garb,bright and colourful
Shiny brown leather pumps.. jewelled ring
Headphones on ears ..music piercing the brain
Glossy leather handbag song on the lip
Without these masks..you'll look in disdain
