i see faces
so many faces
some have traces
of stages
they've been through.
I stop to watch them
so many faces
i look for traces
of the lives
they live.
some are smiling
some are hiding
they have secrets
it shows
on their faces.
when i look in their eyes
i see through their disguise
some are living on lies
others, just fantasise
going about their lives
....
....
i see faces
happy faces
angry faces
it all amazes
me.

This was a song I wrote back in 1990. I now publish it in 2020, a new area where face masks are becoming the norm. I can still see the smiles, the secrets and lies. I'm sure you can too.
