Masks of Deceit – A Poem

Copyright ยฉ Priya Florence Shah

๐Ÿ‘บ๐Ÿ‘บ๐Ÿ‘บ

Beneath the guise
of virtueโ€™s glow,
Lies a shadow,
dark and low.

๐Ÿ‘บ๐Ÿ‘บ๐Ÿ‘บ

A helping hand,
a tender smile,
Concealing hearts,
corrupt and vile.

๐Ÿ‘บ๐Ÿ‘บ๐Ÿ‘บ

They wear the cloak,
the saintly face,
But deeds betray
their hollow grace.

๐Ÿ‘บ๐Ÿ‘บ๐Ÿ‘บ

Their words like honey,
sweet and smooth,
Yet hide the poison
of their truth.

๐Ÿ‘บ๐Ÿ‘บ๐Ÿ‘บ

Beware the mask,
the shining light,
For not all gold
glows true at night.

๐Ÿ‘บ๐Ÿ‘บ๐Ÿ‘บ

Abusers lurk
in false disguise,
Their kindness
but a web of lies.

๐Ÿ‘บ๐Ÿ‘บ๐Ÿ‘บ
