We live in a world of shiny masks
              ~*~
Foolish! we are to think
We're above the laws of life
Wandering aimlessly...ever searching
For reason to escape this fight
                *
A battle within ourselves
Was birthed on day's conception
For great is our toil
Of journey's long deception
                *
We travel uncharted paths
Of truths mixed well with lies
And wear our shiny masks
Ourselves we learn to hide
                *
Escape becomes proficient
Our souls are soon defiled
Self gain... then is our need
And greed is our profile
                *
A drug of choice is our retreat
"Our hand held well - honed tool"
But lift the masks...Remove the drugs
And we're everybody's fool~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Tesa
