[hometext] => Which mask do you wear? Do you really know who you are for sure?
[bodytext] =>  A MASKED SOCIETY We humans are not dumb, we learn to adapt, Where can we go? In this society we're trapped! The word 'long suffering' means 'nostrils' in Greek A long suffering person can see or hear anything, without moving his nostrils, let alone shriek! Like a frog placed in warm water, comfortable..... He adapts to temperature slowly, never fearful If thrown in the hot water suddenly-- jumps immediately Humans gradually worn down with hideous events adapt slowly. Where are we to go? there's no place! Human suffering is learned to maintain grace. Our facial features tell others what we feel, From others our feelings we can conceal. People apologize for shedding tears, for having a heart! Showing our true feelings-- being venerable-- we teach our feelings to depart! No outrage, nor even caring, complete apathy..... Our leaders soon learn, they are not allowed to even be angry. Our hearts can be bursting in our chest Oppressed, depressed, hurtful feelings we suppress! "How dare you show me your emotions I'd rather not feel It's more comfortable to deal with your mask, please your feelings conceal!" Like walking dead people afraid to be true, Learned behavior-- wear a happy face, even when blue. "Stop crying, dry your eyes, it isn't all that bad!" A small child listens, applies a smile even while sad! A mask may be worn, but soon our hearts are masked too! A loss of our unique, precious self is lost..... Without your mask, who are you?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
