Beyond Masks

..

 

Year 2011 made me wiser!

 

I discovered real faces

hidden under masks

The masked faces were

showing wrinkle free smile

sugar-coated words

pretending humbleness.

True self of a person

is tested only in crisis

the way it is handled.

Some brood and wait

evaluate the situation

reflect on the words

some lash out their

inner hidden garbage

and spread out filth.

The moment it happens

their faces become naked

their masks crack down and

people see them who they really are!

 

This is how friendship cracks down

this is how intimate people become enemies

Watch  for a mask of kindness!

Nothing is free, look for its price tag.

Sometimes we have to pay too much price

for someone’s tiny kindness.

Meanings underneath humbleness

could be a fire-ball underneath snow.
