We are forever creating ourselves to look impressive and be excepted. No wonder we all have been trained to live under a shelter of lies. This has now become the norm. So we will continue to lie and the lie will become a part of life. Until one day we will all wake up and realise. This whole life was a make up just to stage our plays.

It’s hard getting

The world to smile

They’re all too sissy

And they want to be pretty

Too busy making that time

When they want to interact

And put on a posing act

What comes afterwards

Only leads to war!

When it comes to revealing

Those looks come unappealing

When make up is no more

True features come in storms

Across the shore

Outside they paint a picture

Inside they hide the truth

When it all comes to expose

The whole world will explode

So wake up everybody

Stop hiding behind a noddy

Reveal yourselves

And just smile

And make it last for miles
