Be careful it is peeling around the edges,
Threatening to expose your strange fears.
Watch what you do with these absurd pledges,
For no-one can wear a mask for years.
Mind your step whilst you walk so aloof,
Keeping your chin high to look down your nose.
Your deluded superiority is perfect proof
That your shit should be stripped and exposed.
We were born naked, vulnerable and penniless,
Reliant on people's warmth, love and protection.
So don't behave as if you are more blessed,
Because darkness can soon move in your direction.
We are not islands floating in a sea of solitude,
But a community of species clawing through life.
We should not live with a parasitic attitude,
But seek to understand how to be truly alive.
