Kingdom of Masks
Attend the Royal Ball
Masks! Masks!
Masks abound,
Masks for everyone!
We'll put them on,
Come, let’s hear it!
No one wants
a naked spirit!
Masks for the poor,
Masks for the healthy,
Masks for the sick: the wealthy.
Choose a new face.
Hide the old one away!
Your essence is safe,
ensconced, and at bay.
Don’t get yourself caught,
You can’t quit the game!
Your anima may rot,
But we all feel the same!
Keep it real tight,
and try not to blink.
Lick your lips,
Bite your tongue,
Don’t even think.
Put your mask on your face.
Don’t even question,
The look or
The color or
The feel or, uh, and…
Sneezes need to be stealthy!
Keep your psyche intact,
Put on the damned mask!
It’s part of a grand design.
Have yourself a good time.
