Intentional

In vain you spot
A hollow thought


Yes I can tell
Your mask works well


When give meets take
Your face looks fake


Just wear your style
Charm with blank smiles


You speak profound
On shady grounds


Praise tramples plain
You stalk in vain


Your crooked lips
Frame poisoned tip


In guise pure guile
Sly craft moves wile


Best you see then
Odd fate just when


Gloss thus dark frown
On a vile clown


Mad as mad feels
Your touch can kill
