Malcolm Has Immobilized a New Truth

Due to his parents’ deaths Malcom mobilizes a new truth
Laughing and cavorting, moving in a frenzy
He is covering up his sadness with faux mirth
His essence cloaking abject melancholy

Laughing and cavorting, moving in a frenzy
Creating an illusion of complacency and acceptance
He is covering up his sadness with faux mirth
The ones closest to him pretend to believe his masquerade

Creating an illusion of complacency and acceptance
He is covering up his sadness with faux mirth
The ones closest to him pretend to believe his masquerade
Due to his parents’ deaths Malcolm mobilizes a new truth
