    THE MASKS ARE OFF

    THE MASKS ARE OFF

    The masks are off the scars are seen,

    Life can no longer be lived serene.

    Not that it ever was but the masks hid the truth,

    Covers on a reality horrible and uncouth.

    False hopes of sand slip through fingers,

    Scorpion’s truth is the nature of their stingers.

    The mask is stung a million cracks appear,

    It falls to earth and the monsters form is clear.

    Truth showers the Oracles cleansing the birth,

    Of clearer visions as evil is removed from the earth.

    Masks....we all hide behind one at one time or another in our lives. It is easier to live without one though......Another good write.

    Very nice. What is truth? Is the evil removed or just hidden once again?

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
