The Mask of Fear
Hidden we have become masked among others
No more lips to kiss just the taste cotton on our lips
Right or wrong these masks cover our frowns
Myth or real masks only cover our fear
A wife dying, a husband kept waiting outside
A loan casket lowered into the ground
Churches with empty pews
No one can see or breath because of our fear
Stores closing others unemployed wearing a mask
Wondering how long this will last
Lack of God we fear death from a virus
How did we get ourselves into this mess?
Fear not he has said but we still morn the dead
Life is not among the living but the dead
from the heavens up above a mask-less place
Where all will see masks are only temporary
Stop being a fool and believe
Masks will not save you but God will
From heaven up above
