Beautiful Selfessness

there are those who cast a shadow.
That which masks there true hearts.
A void of shallowness and veil.
Glimmering faces radiating with contempt.
Kindness under the guise of fake smiles  and empty gestures.
To care for someone not to help them but to help are self’s.
We do it for peace.
we do it for forgiveness.
we do it for resplendence. 
we do it out of fear.
we do it to gain favor. 
we do it for reward in after life.
we do it for ourselves.
Yet their is good within this.
For if everybody cast this same shadow.
If everybody hid beneath this guise.
If everybody did it.
The world in turn would be a better place.
Making mankind beautiful.
Selfishness and all.
