Mask Poem by Chandra sekharan

I was born without any facial mask
But lived with mask only
Mask concealed my feelings
World could see only my
Twinkling pair of eyes
Like two deep dark bore wells
Gazing at stars
My passionate feelings and
Impressions were shrouded
By mask of heavy steel
What does the mask contain
Whether Gandhiji’s face
Or
Hitler’s face
I am ignorant
During my last day on earth
My majestic and
Imperialistic physique
Was cremated with unmasked head
