The Emperor's Mask
It’s easy to hide behind words,
with the truth left abandoned and stark
It’s easy to hide behind words,
with your feelings sharp pointed and dark
It’s easy to hide behind words,
when the emperor buys you new clothes
It’s easy to hide behind words
—whose deception dishonors you so
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2020)
