Mock Facade

Mock Facade

A Poem by Lena M. P.

What is life but a mascaraed?

Of secret faces with babbles of shame

Of mime faces with painted on tears

With drawn smiles to hide the blame.

 

What is life but a parade of clowns?

White paint faces and upturned smiles

Laughter fake as the daisy pinned

Spots of colors to hide my guile's

 

What is life but the jokes of man?

To make fun of others to mask our pain

To tease, to fun, to play the fool

From all the folly, where’s the gain?

A lot of people take life in that direction and achieve nothing at the end. I hope we can all find our purposes in it and work towards them. Some will be winners and some losers but there is always a hope and a will for those ones that need use its powers...
A well written poem full of wisdom...

It helps to be a kind soul It hurts more but it makes it easier to explain yourself
