How many fools are there on this planet?
How many misguided neophytes who think this life a joke?
Play your games if you must.
Recite your lines with shakespearian flair.
Pull on your masks tightly, lest they fall off.
Now that would be a tragedy.
But who do you really fool?
Your transparency is unmistakable.
The fact that you choose to play a part which betrays you is comedic.
But then to you it feels comfortable.
Except when you're alone at night and there is no one to play to.
And the fact that you have no true self strangles you like so many lies.
Or maybe you don't know that you don't know.
And that is your own private prison.
As for myself, I'll just keep movin on.
