BEHIND THE MASK

He seems faithful
And trustworthy
At first glance

When you first lay eyes on him
He seems so charming and innocent

Pretending to be
Exactly what you want him to be
He is decent and well mannered
When in your presence

But, he is like a chameleon
He can change his character
At the drop of a hat

He is pure evil
A man of sin

When you are not present
He is not who he pretends to be

He has many different sides
Depending on his needs at the time
Or what you can do for him

If he can benefit from you
He will put on quite the act
He is a very good showman

It seems that each of his sides
Has one main nasty task
Which is only to line his pockets
And fill his ego

He brings disgrace to others
If he is to gain
Either popularity
Or financially
He will not think twice
To do wrong by you

While most of these deeds
Are well camouflaged and unseen
Because they are hidden well
Behind his invisible mask
