hiding behind a mask of friendship – v5

hiding behind a mask of friendship
offering an open hand to us
yet hiding a heart of darkness
not true to the creed
not wanting belonging
sharing with those
they view beneath themselves

others too timid to speak
hiding in the bushes
hiding behind a mask of friendship
but a blight upon the land
those who seek division
who judge their fellow man
