Masks

Behind the masks 
We are safe 
From epidemics 
Behind the masks
Thieves and robbers 
Being not recognised 
Are safe too
Behind the masks
Voices become indistinct
Dining becomes inconvenient
Smiling hidden 
Anger has no vent
Sorrow and despair overlooked
Beauty not appreciated
Behind the masks 
Just like the politicians and cheaters
Never show their real faces
But don't worry
God always read your hearts
But not your faces
