Veiled Villain
Mustapha Othman Feb 2014
Lauded for my sins
For my virtues are not loud enough
Plausible are my lies
For the truth I speak receives no applause any longer
Gradually, temptation allures me into the dark
For I feel guilt and shame in the sight of light
Desires are at the helm of authority
As reasons face the depths of austerity
Without hope, my soul faces incarceration for its goodness
For my flesh is now the incarnation of evil
Behind the mask of the once revealed hero
Is the face of a veiled villain

— The End —
