The Mask Behind Face

By Manperson96

Shrouded by the skin
Embedded deep within
Lies the mask of false truth

Right behind the face
Only to deface
All possibility of ruth

Behold the ego
The root of all evil
Sheltering the Self from the tooth

Beware the ego
For not long ago
The waters told the truth
