Behind the Masks

Everything
Looked fine
There was an order that seemed
Natural
But it was
Only a reflection
Of an
Illusory
Image
Falling like a house of cards
In the face of brutal reality not faced
In the midst of despair and fear
I note the darkness where I am
Falling like
A house of cards
In the face of
Brutal reality
Not faced
In the midst
Of despair and fear
I note
The darkness
Where I am

I see
The reflection of my own darkness
Surrounding me
And that's how I begin to open
My eyes and see
In the middle of the shadows
Thousands masks appear
Thousands
Masks
Appear

Costumes from a grotesque
Celebration of the darkness
That cover more and more the truth
They enjoy the brutality
And
With a burlesque gaze
Laugh mercilessly

Trying
To let the fear
And disbelief
I intend to see beyond
Then understand
That the maze
Is more tangled and deep
Behind the masks
There are more

And in the midst
Of chaos and confusion
Paradoxically I begin to understand
It was all a trap
And those voices talking about Paradise
Are part of the hoax
Even those
In which you trusted
And where you lean
You understand
Are part of the hoax

You were
Just watching the wrong place
"Outside" there is nothing that is not "inside"

Everything
Is within us
Looking
Inward
Light appears
