Some are better at hiding behind the mask of dishonesty than others – but if we remain aware, we will always catch a glimpse of the cloak they use to deceive. Only to be fooled by their trickery and deceit it is up to us to continue to believe.

I know most with beating hearts innocently look for goodness in the soul, seeking authenticity instead of a masquerade with no assumption there are those merely playing a role.

But for those behind the mask will someday see the world they created is filled with fraudulent peers; the cunning, cheating, crooked, and shady.

I bet as years waste away, they may watch from behind the camouflage of darkness with regret, as the beautiful ones just pass by – never to be told another lie. ~ Written by Kym L. Pasqualini
