Behind the Lie

Driven by need and ego,
you filled our heads with fables,
tall tales, hero-stories.

Do not look behind the curtain.
Don't ask what's behind the mask.

When we turned away,
you thought we caught you out
and were disgusted.

Hide behind your painted screen.
Project shadows on the wall.

In truth we saw you all along
and understood the danger.
Now settled away from sifting sands,
we can keep on
loving you.
