Disguise
See beyond sense the plainly vain,
Hoist the sure view that heart now knows;
Rest beyond tense the fatal grain,
Expect the cue to feel fake show;
Wise up and see the sad charade,
Deep falsehoods seep with greedy flair.
Do what may be your best love trade,
Instruct thought deep in false affair;
Stupid ploys choke the precious child,
Guilt regrets naught to spark no change;
Use fun to poke the meek and mild,
Intent breeds nought in actions strange;
Seize the times yet to reverse gears,
Exult new chimes to conquer fear.
