Counterfeit
Does your smile convey true joy?
Or does it mask a secret, coy?
Do your actions speak of heart, or
From all honesty, depart?
This, a world where shadows move
And rainbows dance in changing hues
Alongside clouds of smoky blear,
A world where water disappears.
Nothing here will stay the same
No one born here, free of shame
If without a mask you be,
Soon, in solitude be seen.
Words you speak must always lie
Deeds performed, discreetly sly.
Nothing honest, here, will thrive
Truth is unfit to survive.
Welcome "home" where "heart" belongs!
Join a choir of crooked songs.
Counterfeits, we all are born
By gems deceptive, stand adorned.
