An Eye For Deception
I’ve an ear for conceit
And an eye for deception
Age has instilled in me
A keen and acute perception
That allows me to see ‘neath the masks
That each one of us wear
And veils the face of true emotions
Tha we’ll ne’er dare to share
Deny it not!!
That what you allow us to see
Is more masquerade or charade
Of what you’d like you’d like us to be
We…all of us… are not at all
What our visage implies
But a carefully constructed
Cunning collage of lies
