Behind The Facade

What a world of violence 

Where everyone has an offense

Afraid of what would recompense

They carried themselves in defense

 

What a world of suspense 

Each happening rounded by a fence

Turn inward when things get intense

After all there are insights before trends

 

What a world of pretense

You don’t want the expense

Yet you want the license

Alas, the king judge in silence

 

What a world of essence

Present with wines of violence

It is a movie full of suspense

All smiles, no weakness is a pretence
