Masquerade
Masquerade
Tilt the balance scale gently
then to find what maybe
the culmination of action
speaking
doing
building by impression
the mask of another person
Eventually totality of what shall be
the papermache of opinion
constructed and connived
by inability’s pride to discover
face value
Convene then dissimilar life
for the other tribe to live by
so and so and they are
that
with the poetic justice of self satisfaction
misjudgements interpretation
forced onto the world of the dissimilar
someone
Intellectual Yobs
sanctimonious self righteous miniatures
playing with emotional aggression
attacking by loving
kicking by caring
until the individual is drown
maiming by demanding
violence by expectation
until the mask is patterned
Slap decisions
stamped estimation
teach by ordeal
be sure to be sure of exactly
who you are
paint their camouflage for them
in the colours
of your judgements
hold together the tissue of their life
with the glue
of emotional blackmail
