Posed

All the world's a stage and all the men and women
Put on masks to strut upon it.
Masks and gaudy costumes
To hide they shabiness the feel within.

They hide their beauty behind layers of paint,
They flaunt what should remain hidden
For all the world to stare at.
Such love and energy
Wasted on affected ennui
Such beauty never seen
Eyes cast down fingers always busy

Learn to love what we all do
Learn to look like we do too.
If we say it is worthy of admiration
It is so, never question.
Never ask why or by what virtue it deserves
To be so admired above ll others more worthy
Just go along, follow me and me and me...

Speak just so
Strive for perfect diction
But did you know
That truth is more beautiful than fiction.
