Face Poem by Abdulazeez Garba Donkayours

The face we wear, a facade of deceit
Concealing what lies beneath our feet
A mask to hide the truth we fear
And mask the pain that's always near

Faces that lie, as fate unfolds
Crumbling beneath the weight of old
Scorched by the fire, can't you see?
It's a symphony of tragic glee

Don't be fooled by appearances
Trust in the wisdom of your peers
The face you show, it guides your path
Use your heart and not just your math

Our lives and past, a tale of illusion
Don't let the devil's hand be the fusion
Our forefathers fought for what's right
But we've chosen a different fight.
