Masquerade
by Acorntopper and Warrior_Prophet
All the worlds a stage
Its men and women merely players
A masquerade in this day and age
But well said by the oldest of Sayers
Pretty faces gleaming
People laughing for attention
Ladies smiling fetchingly
Men reciting words of affection
Pretending to be someone they are not
Their fantasies they vent
For a moment they're the big shot
Acceptance of fraudulent intent
The room begins to spin
And the floor, it shows its cracks
As the lights go dim
People remove their masks
Disappointments lay deeply buried
As new masks are renewed in shadows
Subtle differences hardly varied
As true faces remain hidden below
Theme = Concept Of The World Being A Masquerade
