Humanity Obscura
Masks preserve anonymity,
words reveal some humanity.
We study to lie,
to the ear and the eye,
to shade our own grim inanity.
We will to have Truth to believe in,
but lies can serve Grace to redeem sin,
we are not what we seem,
on the stage or the screen,
but there's Blessing enough to forgive sin.
Not knowing what we do, please forgive us,
whether labored by lies, or just plain lust,
we are not what we seem,
but we aim to redeem,
'ere we pass from this life as we all must.
