Make-Up

Compliments, indiscriminate
Found on external portrayal
Positive adjectives resonate:
Holy, Examplary, Royal;
None of the reports within the file
Has been put through a trial

Thoughts and intentions of the heart
Deeply buried beneath hypocrisy,
The brightest of lights cannot uncover,
The highest of voltages cannot move
Only you can know and tell
The elements composant in you

Long dresses swiping floors,
Fixed ties on ironed suits,
Polished grammar and structured thoughts
Society calls such, 'good', 'perfect'
Before long, all present an image
Of social expectations
And men are all but actors with many roles

Loud 'Amen' and joyful singing
Gets the title of - Consecrated
Modest clothing and scripture talks,
The desired qualification of 'holy'
So all attempt to conduct as such
And a bunch of imitators
Form the assembly of make-believers

Thousand many titles can man receive;
He knows alone how true these talks are
And how sincere these smiles and helps are
The meditations constant in his soul alone in the darkness of the night
When none is watching and none is marking,
That's what makes man - and man is none of all he is around men
