False Faces Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I have got a 'thing'
For trust.
And loyalty.
I've got this 'thing',
For being who it is that I am.
I have got a 'thing',
For people who portray...
A charading to be what they're not.
With faces to mask to then drop,
A parading to masquerade.
When attention they get starts to fade.

Gone everyday are the masks.
But...
Some still choose to charade.
Gone everyday are impressions made.
But...
Parading false faces stay.

I have got a 'thing'
For trust.
But some still choose to charade.
I can't stand people who parade,
A faking who they are to masquerade.

Gone everyday are the masks.
But...
Some still choose to charade.
Gone everyday are impressions made.
But...
Parading false faces stay.

False faces.
Under masks cast,
False faces.
To discover fast.
False faces.
Under masks cast,
False faces.
To discover fast.

Gone everyday are the masks.
But...
Some still choose to charade.
Gone everyday are impressions made.
But...
Parading false faces stay.

False faces.
Under masks cast,
False faces.
To discover fast.
False faces.
Under masks cast,
False faces.
To discover fast.
False faces.
Under masks cast,
False faces.
To discover fast.
False faces.
Under masks cast,
False faces.
To discover fast.
