Hidden Poem by liz jumah

Today I learnt something
about the person
who wears a proud face
and casts an indifferent eye
about the mouth
that never tires to gossip.

I learnt that all this
are done in an effort
to conceal something
that we may not see
and to pull others
to that level

I found out that
there is something hidden
behind one's mirrored self
which tries to lower others
to the very low level
where they are

I realised that
there's something hidden
behind the gossiping mouth
whose only satisfaction
is biting people's backs
to hinder their progress.
