Masking

.

“You wear a mask for so long,

You forget who you were beneath it.”

Alan Moore, V for Vendetta

.
Who would have thunk

That the “Masks” that

People are already wearing

Would not protect them

.

How many more layers

Can one layer on before

One’s being is protected

Behind all of the masks

.
“I am the modren man
(secret secret I’ve got a secret)
Who hides behind a mask
(secret secret I’ve got a secret)
So no one else can see
(secret secret I’ve got a secret)
My true identity

//

The time has come at last
(secret secret I’ve got a secret)
To throw away this mask
(secret secret I’ve got a secret)
Now everyone can see
(secret secret I’ve got a secret)
My true identity…

I’m Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!”
