Fig Leaf

FIG LEAF

Coat of skin for fig leaf.
Burying yourself under 
fig leaves.
Yet you flash us
With a toothless smile.
But its enshrouded parts
I see.

When the Almighty
Pulls the plug of mercy
And spill the beans of 
curse,
You now bury your act 
Under your pillow of rest
And face the running 
storm.

The best for bane,
A friend for fiend.
Coat of skin for fig 
leaves:
Your evil choices.
Yet you turn blind eyes 
on your choices
And continue in your act
Leading you to the fiery 
pit.
