MASKS

politicians use lies
to conceit the truth.

poets, writers use lies
to reveal the truth.

people, we chose to live
behind the mask

for we fear there'll be
no acceptance of whom

you, we really are.

people, we hope
for the day of freedom

when we can be independent
and free to be who

you, we really are.

sadly, regretably
society, it disregards us

people, we cannot be free
until the day

you, we free ourselves.

discard the mask,
for what lies beneath the flesh

is what really matters.

the burns, scars, scratches
are nothing more

than marks of societal cruelty.

open your mind and heart
to another level

in this universe.

for the world is expansive
some place, it belongs

to you and me.

where people,
we love each other as one

without the masks,
we love each other

as one.
