Stony cold icy faces,
Always trying to stay ahead in races.
Living under a guise,
And smiles that don’t reach the eyes.

Ego between stints -
narcissistic derelicts
scope the classifieds.
Vanity cracks masked mirrors -
Arrogance need not apply.

Real Poverty

We get older
we learn more
we had enough of masked phases
true men are few
How ugly is poverty!
of humanity!!
Am I right?

Masked Marauder

The raccoon is a burglar … 
There’s no door he can’t unlatch.

Baby hand-prints in the butter?
You can bet Raccoon’s found that!

there is a man outside
my house
it is dark
and i cannot
see his face
he is masked
or so it seems
the robber
is outside my house

Charming masked persona
Desiring all he can take
Elegant words of passion
Forgetting that he’s fake

Why can’t you just be yourself?

Our grand wizard Don has a plan
To shove all non-whites in a van
An evil cruel tool
His masked ICE not cool
Mirrors Trump's beloved Ku Klux Klan

How many kinds do you have? I asked.
Too many to count said the man, masked.
You are in Peru.
Where potatoes are true.
Three thousand kinds – an impossible task.

The means and my ICE crew’s bold lie!

But adores masked hogs—   
The Gestapo who had Good die

Listen to poem:
the whirl 
of cycles
makes
the world
go round
    evolution
    banks on it
we masked humans
now feeling the brunt
of karmic wrath

Masked

I hide my true self in these lines.
My love is more written than spoken.
I know what I want.
But I can't afford to say it out loud.
I am living a lie.
I am masked.

Masked

The real impostor does not live
              without being masked..
              If the posture is worn,
              well he changes
              the disguise.. !

Life today a silent game of Russian Roullette
Masked, gloved, unarmed a trip to a public 
Place a sneeze, a cough, a bit of smegma
And Covid19 silently end all to Life.
