The Masks

2020 will be the year of record when it all changed - and for a simple reason Oh, we'd had our trials before to be sure But they were all handled within their season No, something was different in 2020 The virus, the protests but something else, too The light went out and the whole mood got ugly And it tore at everyone, not just the few What happened that so suddenly changed the world? The masks - of course, it was the masks all the while Indeed the masks alone turned out the light In one stroke we covered up the whole world's smile 7-19-20 Contest:10-20 lines on Mask Sponsor: Mohan Chutani

Oh wow...covering up the whole world's smile! An interesting way to put it. Well done. You are certainly right that things changed with an ugly mood with so many. I pray we can find more happiness and smiles again :)
