A Façade
Can be…
“A showy misrepresentation intended to 
conceal something unpleasant”
According to one dictionary
What's in a face?
Not a damn thing!
Contrary to what Jack's preaching
Looks really are deceiving
And some were made to disarm
The average, the pretty and the handsome
Loaded with charm
Relax baby
No reason to be frightened
As benedict, administers
The sweet-tasting poison

What's in a face?
What can a mask cover?
Besides the fruits of ill-labor
Not the state of his heart
Not her intentions
Not the black hole
That's permeating a soul
What's in a face?
Nothing really
It certainly doesn't tell the entire story
It doesn't show
How will you know?
Where has he been?
Where does she want to go?
How long was his trip?
Was it man or alien made?
Her advanced spaceship

What's in a face?
Be it black, white, green or brown
Without the garish makeup
Would you recognize the clown?
What if the longtime nester, was really a celestial jester?
Tell me!
Who lives above and who lives under a spell?
Who claimed heaven?
Who claimed hell?
What do you see?
Look into the faces…
As they morph through time
Is there a pattern, a cadence or a rhyme?
It didn't happen over night
Took them a long time to get it right
The technology
The intricate genetic wiring
Soft and hard
The carefully crafted
Cold-blooded
Façade

“A showy misrepresentation intended to 
conceal something unpleasant”

What's in a face morphing?
What's in a facade?
Everything and absolutely nothing…
It depends on who's doing, the looking
