Masks

Revelers wear masks without complaint
On Halloween, which makes me wonder
Why we find it hard to practice restraint,
     Commonsense and friendships we squander
     By casting good scientific practices asunder.

Sotto Poet Date: 10/20/2021 7:35:00 PM Your poem is exceptionally well-written and beautifully stated. When it comes to Halloween masks, the mouth and nose aren't often the only features. Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 10/21/2021 8:55:00 AM That is true, Lasaad. Thanks for your read.
