A world where
Mendacious smiles wrapping
shattered tears of veracious eyes
Pulchritudinous laugh
Covering the empty stomach of poverty
Trusting words dawning
covetous shades deep buried inside
Stolid face of sacrifice
Adorning the underlying nostalgia
Of long seen family
Delusional manners
Awning the stripping amorous gapes
And Crispy darkness
Concealing the wails of felony
We travel in an era of contagion
Where we mask our countenance
As a shield for life's agony
