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
