The Mask~BCP Weekly Prompt

We use the mask to beam and lie

It keeps our chin and shadow over our eyes

The price we pay to human lies

With shattered hearts ,

We smile and clam with endless guile

We chant but alas!the earth is vile

Below our toes and the lengthy smile

Yet let the universe hope otherwise

We use the mask

The earth (people in it) can be insensitive to how we feel, and that's why we mask up.

Nice poem.

The mask! A word that many haven't really deduced. Just what lays behind it?
The earth is truly vile, Children are now corrupt and parents are silent.

The mask is the dark side of life, the general instrument for telling lies and carrying out nefarious acts.
