Charade Must Persist Poem by Sean Green
Charade Must Persist
The rational is a mask
allowing friends to relax
while the rest of the world
ignores the creature they deplore
each is a lie unto itself
first my stating I'm alright
incongruency from reality
still the charade must persist
the latter is a mixed blessing
lest action move to their fists
this inclination of the distraught
believing life is so unjust
perceptions turned by mere thoughts
while the truth lays beyond
when survival asks no less
the rational becomes the safest mask.
