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.
