Masquerade

 

Evident charade in milieu

each with made up guise

 

In world of make believe

full of social compromise

 

Realism often shrouded

on face of false pretense

 

Sensitivity paid no heed to

justifying fake defense

 

Apparent picture painted

with every hue gone awry

 

From projected on surface

 actuality remains a far cry
