We have been invited to a masquerade We take a moment to halt this crusade In life There are ups and downs, side to sides, like plaid In order to find the good inside of us, we must get through the bad We have been invited to a masquerade Even though we may feel as if we are being betrayed Rivers that separate rich folk, poor folk, your folk, my folk I think it’s time the world finally awoke We have been invited to a masquerade We stare, never moving, without a choice, like the milk maid Dance, sing, anything! I shouldn’t have to persuade We have been invited to a masquerade This is not a time to maim, blame or downgrade We no longer spit our deadly lines These life lessons should be taken as signs Be careful what you think, because your thoughts are not your own “Where did you get this inspiration?” You ask, Well dear, from my home
