I see them every day,
People victim to the masquerade
They walk as if nothing's wrong
Telling you always that they're strong
But look close and I guarantee
You'll see what I say you'll see,
The people victim to the masquerade.
Their masks are on
Until the crowds are gone,
Then they reveal the tears that flow
Because of the masquerade's fatal blow
These poor people of the masquerade,
I know of the pain the masks bestow
And it's death is long and slow,
I used to be victim to the masquerade.
You know the mask you wear
I knew when I was there
A person victim to the masquerade,
As time goes by it starts to tear
Stealing, til there's none of you to spare
The mask of the masquerade.
If you let time pass you by
You'll see the plans that underly
The evil plans of the masquerade,
Wait too long and the knots you can no longer untie
Don't wait long the mask is very sligh
This mask of the masquerade.
I met someone who took my mask from me
Breaking all ties and setting me free
No longer a victim of masquerade,
He'll take your's too, ask and you shall recieve
Call on Him and you will see
Jesus Christ of Galilee.

Good.
It seems the other two posters on this poem disliked the ending because of their personal view-point. I share yours, but none-the-less, I think poetry should be read objectively, and not dissaprovingly.
This poem was interesting and mostly well-writen. It was simple yet effective. Well done. Have an applause, or two.

well written, it was slightly repetetive, but i liked it. Till the last stanza came and strangled me

Interesting write, I disliked the end as I'm not Christian but I like the metaphor here of the 'masquerade'- it suggested to me that people are controlled in society and need to find freedom. This was quite a strong, sad write.
