NEWS: Writing is something, which can't be told...
  • NOBLE POETRY  

  • A mask to mute

     

    Freedom of speech 

    Is what they teach

     

    Yet they mask me

    Intending to cage me

     

    Claiming I will be protected 

    But rather I was tormented 

     

    Mask of lies 

    To cut all ties 

     

    Not masking up for plague 

    But for pretense to lure

     

    Speak not, they said

    On me, their eyes are laid

     

    My mouth may be caged 

    But my heart can't be caged

     

    Behind the disguised mask

    Lies tons of prepared task

     

    Willing to speak out I am! 

    Not intending to cause harm

     

    Ransacking my fragile heart

    Emerging from a piece of art

     

    Troubles are far gone

    For I shot them with a gun

     

    Masking up is not in anyway bad

    But disguising makes me mad

     

    Get the pretense off my head

    So I can face the obstacles ahead

     

    A mask to mute indeed

    In search of a friend in need

     

    Get the mask off my face

    So I can tumble off this phase
