Expressions

 

All through life

we are expertly told

to step out boldly

from behind

those masks we wear…

 

But now,

a new instruction,

a different task,

we really want you to wear a mask, to show you really care!

 

Welcome to our brave new world,

with a protective mask to obediently unfurl.

 

They say masks keep us safe, yet daily the mantra is unclear.

Is it really an instrument of oppression and a vacant expression of fear?

 

For when I look, I cannot see your lips,

I know not if you smile, or wear a grimace.

 

The eyes, those windows to the soul,

are the only expression reflecting upon your face

 

The original mask, the basic blue one.

Has morphed into the quirky new expression of me and you

 

The clothes they say, make the man

or define the discerning woman.

 

But what really is behind the mask?

 

It’s a conversation we daily have,

a moral dilemma,

do we have a choice?

But I will wear one too, when you politely ask.

 

A statement of fashion

or an instrument of oppression?

 

I suppose

only time will tell,

the mask is worn to make an impression,

the latest form of our shared human expression.
