    Summary

    For every trial, for every task,

    there is a corresponding mask.

    A frown, a smirk, a pout, a grin,

    They shield the soul contained therein.

    But masks and faces, and manners too,

    disguise the single face that’s true.

    The face that’s under the facade,

    the one the foolish, charmed and awed,

    profess to see, to claim to know,

    although they’ve never seen it show.

    And so they pry through charm and guile,

    in hopes to see what’s ‘neath that smile.

    However, they are unaware,

    that mask and face are not a pair.

    For those that pry soon come to find

    they don’t like what’s hiding behind,

    because the face once locked within,

    might not be that charming grin.

    And thus the wise are dread to ask

    to see what’s there beneath the mask.
