Notes About The Poem

Just thinking about what might transpire after all this  is  over withl

When the Masks Come Off

When The Masks Come Off

One day
When this is over
We will joyfully remove our masks,
And face one another as people again.

When that day comes,
We will rejoice to see smiles,
The moving lips that greet us, link us
Human to human. When that day comes,
Much as I desire it; 
What will be revealed? Love for one another as a race?


So much has been done to separate us.
To tear us from our better selves.
We must rise Above: declare our nobility.

We must declare ourselves the noble Human Race we are,
Which, with all its flaws, still marches on to better days,
Tear our masks off and declare to one another,
With unrepentant smiles,
That, "Yes, I believe in you."
