DISGUISE

Life is short

It teaches us a lot.

From being tiny

To someone whiny.

A human who has some experience

Of life that's mysterious.

Does he really know where he is

Has he had any analyses?

He says he wants to live freely

But isn't he thinking too ideally.

A place with peace

Is never at ease.

When war comes

It turns people to crumbs.

With cracks on the ceiling and nothing to eat

Due to the wars some lives became a downbeat.

How can his dream complete?

When people are fighting on the street.

When people are told to be kind

Have they really kept it in their mind?

"Be nice to others" that is what he heard

After he grew old he thought that it was quite absurd.

He thought he knew what was life.

He knew it was a lie he had been telling to himself,

He made a cry.

He realized to remember oneself.

But he failed

"Alas!:" He wailed.

So where is he ?

In the thoughts

That gave him a key.

A key to live as a different being.

As he saw people disagreeing.

He now knew where the others were

In a sea full of lies.

Where there are no 'goodbyes'

Where everyone is disguised.
