    Poem Commentary

    Hypocrisy is the curse of this generation.

    OUR MASKS!

     We live within our mask
    like gay actors set upon a task
    we laugh, smile and courtesy well
    like devils in the spotlight of hell

    Lines upon lines we deliver in sorrow
    afraid that our tears may see tomorrow
    we hide our suffering, pains and cries
    behind our benign mask of lies

    Upon our earthly stage we stand
    in brief triumphs we do not understand
    a tragic tale of woes we bear
    that your sight may deem us dear

    Lo! we are lost in our masks of shame
    imprisoned in a soul bereft of a name
    will we ever be found in this lonely place?
    shall wew still hide the beauty of our face?
    into our masks humbly we go
    who we are we may never know
