THE MASK

by Robert Daniel Long   Oct 7, 2008


Faces in the shadows
People smirking
And sneering
Laughing out loud
Only
Behind your back
Doing so
Out of pure deceit

To your face
Their's
Is straight
Being held by lies
And deception
They're eyes
Deceive
Leading you to believe
That
That isn't there
They live in a shell
In hiding
One moment
Stepping out
The next
Going from one mask
To another
Always hiding who they are
Cheating all they encounter

The masks we wear
Is based
On our walk
The father from the light
The more masks
We require
It's the fact of walking in lies

Having left
Our first love

We think
We're unseen
Being able to give
And take away
Anytime we choose
Never thinking of the lose
Nor
How dark it is
Because we've hidden
Behind a mask
Concealing who we are
Assuming
We're invulnerable

These masks
Masking our ability to see
Just how foolish
We really are
Unless we change
And return
To our first love
Condemned to these masks
We'll be
Ever lost in a sea
Of unbelief and uncertainty
