Double-Faced Mask


What are you hiding? Take off the mask! I saw your son on the ground His figure part of the unwanted trash A little life wasted by your hand. I saw your mother die alone Forgotten by your vanity As you paid worth disdain, her pain, tears and sweat. I saw you on mass today with your mad on Showing empathy to the sad life of a man, A man just like the one whose heart you torn Whose pain drove him to his end. I've seen you without a mask I know who you really are And you know as well that you can't hide So go on and take off the mask!
