A Child's Mask ~ rictameter

Deceit
Wears a child's mask
Speaks confusion and lies
Accusing while excusing self
The goal is tar paving destruction's road
Yet an adult of forty years
Midst a sun that shines not
While claiming Christ
Deceit

Came back
again & was as amazed with this write as the first time! I love this write. It takes a certain mind to get behind this & enjoy it! -
Stunningly Powerful!
Wow Bonnie ~ you said so much in a few words. This is jam packed with electrifying imagery. Trust you'll do well in this Contest. 
I like the way you start & end with the same word like bookends that enclose the potency.

I expected your long writes...LOL this is fantastic, and so full of truth in exposing the one out in the world, everyone better get armed. Blessings

wow - love the depth in this! And so true - deceit can look/feel so innocent that it easily fools the victim......and I also feel an under-current in this, that of someone who 'claims' to be a Christian, but deep down really isn't....all for show, so to speak.
Love the depth!
Well done!

You are sooo encouraging.
