    Changing Faces

    What's really going on when a person says hi? , sporting that clown-faced smile and you know it reads a lie.
    Changing faces are seen at work and in some of the places we play. Wouldn't you rather go home and put behind you a fruitless day.
    On the holiest day of the week we see many "minute-made" retreats.
    People display their meekest look during Sunday service.
    After the spirit wears off....you see plenty of loose lips, partying hands and feet.
    You see this in your in-laws whenever they come and visit.
    You always knew from the start that their family did not want you in it.
    Many people run from self trying to get away.
    They cannot run from that inner person "self", who's looking at them in the mirror everyday.
    LIFE.....it's really just a game and we all must learn to play it.
    People show up with clay, mineral, and clear masks.
    It's up to us on how we're going to take it.
    Take it or leave it, all these changing faces.
    Never be down with a clique and limit your prospects of going places.
    Be true to yourself.

    Real talk! I like it from your descriptive approach Life is what it is. U never should be sad from how others treat U. No matter what be happy with U. Then look all them hate n @## people and say to yourself I'm glad I can make my self happy cause these a bunch of myserable individuals. I will like to read more from U!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
