Masquerade Ball
Come one come all to the Masquerade Ball
The time has come to let our mask fall
To see each other naked which is how it should be
Am I afraid of you are you afraid of me
What do we hide under our mask so bold
As if someone were to steal our pot of gold
We build walls around us so no one will see
Like a character in a play today who will I be
We must break these walls we build so strong
To be frail is human there is nothing wrong
So come, come to the Masquerade Ball
Are we strong enough to let our mask fall

Reminds me of Masque of the Red Death. I would love to recite this while dressed as a court jester.

HAHAHAHA...Happy that you like it
Your fantastic poem put me in mind of William Roscoe's "the Butterfly's Ball, and the Grasshopper's Feast" which I have performed many times.
May I please have permission to perform your great little poem?
