Masquerade
So many names
Many more faces
When we gather together
In all different place
Gowns of all colors
Suits and ties
Behind various masks
We all hide
In splendor and fun
We make new acquaintance
Not minding we've traveled
A lengthy distance
We greet with smiles
And shakes of the hand
But a pleasant face
Is easy to misunderstand
Customs and manners
Can be refined
But secrets of thought
Are hidden in the mind
So look a little deeper
At every adornment arrayed
Veracity of character is hidden
Behind the display
Past the face we portray
At the Masquerade
