Stay masked beyond Halloween.
to keep your image and sheen
What lies behind is more than horror
enough to break a robust mirror
Is that evil or weakness highly strung
in fear of being avenged or wrung?
How far can a criminal go
to cover tracks dirty and low?
Do you remember your just-born face
before you won and found a place?
It has been a battle of power and greed
Keeping what you robbed more than what you need
You terrorise others to keep them away
To prevent honesty from holding sway
Your success lies in protecting secrets
Cringe-worthy within, but firing bullets
Find a hook; hang your real self bare
You might need it in moments of dare
Stay masked beyond Halloween.
to keep your image and sheen
