Masks

Far away you lie,

into the distance ,

where your shadow melts

into the clouds.

Carried away by the winds

soul caught up in the storm,

your shouts which shrilled the skies,

have now transformed into a distant melodious rhyme.

Don’t pretend they listen,

impervious colonies of deaf resides,

only signs and alarms they pay heed to

ones which direct them,

drills with pointed fingers they require.

Steering them together as a group

instructing their life

when to applaud, congratulate or smile.

Everyone covered with a mask

this world without a will to see,

their open eyes bedazzled

under blind drapes they exists.

Each presents a different mask,

thinking he has concealed,

look deeper , look into the holes

their blind eyes reside.

Their cloaks, masquerades they are all the same.

Colored lips on white haunted faces

smiling ear to ear

everyone with a pretense

each with a story concealed.

Dual life we lead,

One with the merry face to the world

Other with broken souls we lead.

I speak to you, my chosen one.

pick any dummy of the crowd.

They are alike, they are same,

just their masks have spread.

What began with the face,

to heart it has reached.

Each one is decaying, as this minute decays.

Remove this mask,

why this new domino?

You too desire to be in the crowd?

From pure morning dew drop

you want to turn to fog?
