Pseudo Mask
PSEUDO MASK
Everything I espied was vague;
Everything I strived to aspire turned fake,
Every tone of their rejoice was the forged remake,
For they were masquerading the pseudo mask that was utterly sake!
The world postures Janus-faced to speciously glorify;
For the iniquitously possessed fortune that cannot be simplify.
It is nothing but we are all fooled!
By the mask that they wear lies the untold gloom!
Everyone is wearing the pseudo mask;
Where the truth prevaricates like a wretched rusk.
Where the agony squashes like the torments of hell;
Where the burning desires smudges them like a vehement gale.
Still we gauge them by their demeanor over which they appear,
For we can't fathom the furtive which are full of mysteries and queer .
Nevertheless, in this present world we are proned to get deceived by what we see,
As everyone's wearing the pseudo mask and flaunt their lives to be carefree!
By — Saprativ Das.
About this poem
This is the poem about the reality of human behavior, emotions and their true nature. We all are mostly unaware of any person's real nature and their emotions, as everyone wears a hypothetical mask where they show their human nature and emotions outside but on the inside is completely the opposite or different. That's why every human being has put a pseudo mask.
