Facets

Man is not a well-rehearsed drama
But man is a never-retiring actor;
Like a chameleon he changes - 
Two snapshots of him at different time and place portray two distinctly unrecognisable personalities 


He often allows neighbours to see only what they'd like to see - he is prepared to deceive to secure his deeds
A master of pretention, his cries are like the ones of an actor on stage - 
His tears are tears of a crocodile inside the ocean 

When among northerners, man adapts to their customs
Born in a French home, man speaks French -
Many uncontrollable factors from birth to death shape his actions and reactions - 
Man is but a social construction 

But in him has been placed a conscience -
This, he cannot confuse 
Neither can he hide his true being when facing his Creator;
He sees through his soul as if looking through a transparent glass
All humanity man can fool,
But himself and his Masters he will never be able to lie to;
Man knows where he stands, and who he is, always
