The Mask Of Deception
Nearly everyone wears a mask of deception;
some out of guilt; others from pain;
many others don it, for their own protection;
and many more, for personal gain.
For some; it’s the expression upon their face;
concealing the truth, residing within;
many wear the outward mask of disgrace;
revealing their shame from sin.
Many others seem totally oblivious to their guilt;
but their manner and posture betray the truth;
they’re the flower, in the sun, about ready to wilt;
confirming the obvious proof.
Some are more dangerous than any of the others;
they’ve become actors; playing a role;
pretending they’re honorable sisters and brothers;
instead; they’re actors without a soul.
Many are charlatans; with something to sell;
usually for more than it’s worth;
others are the demons; destined for hell;
scattered throughout the earth.
Some, arrogant with pride; seek an earthly throne;
professing deep concern for their brothers;
they create disaster from the things they condone;
planning to enslave all the others.
Beware the wolves; walking in sheep’s clothing;
they’ve been on earth; since it’s conception;
they’re responsible for all the division and loathing;
false shepherds wear the mask of deception.
