Deception

Masked as a masquerade
Getting ready to raid
Wearing a plastic smile
Bearing a well packaged missile

Like a chameleon
Covered with many colours
Without one true colour
Liking to be cunny

Allergic to light
Holding darkness so tight
A smiling sadness
Hidden in the cocoon of self

Advices with the intent of vices
And smashes the face
With a slice of shame
Leaving behind doses of bitterness

Mimicry is the hobby
Wanting people to lobby
If you fall a prey
Sit up and learn

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
