Masquerading

The world is going a masquerading

Dress down, make-up, when will things be right again

Pretend to be some supernatural being
Cluttered from such mixed, personality
Believe you have some magic powers
But, the one thing you don’t bother to posse
Is the original you, capable of anything
Beyond what you’re imagination can believe

Difficult to say in a world of masquerading
Disguised to the top most ability
Where is the originality, creativity?
So, here’s how the story goes

Once upon a time, once upon a dream,
And once upon a reality
Lived a world of equality
No such thing as popularity
Now hiding away, so difficult to say
Disappeared until we turn it around again
From all this crazy…masquerading!

Can’t place blame upon a creature
Once known to be themselves
Now just simply, covered in a mask
Ballroom gown for a princess
Antennas for an alien
Or how about a knight in shining armor
Each possessing their own qualities

But, where; where would the world be
If you, yourself did simply not, exist…

Masqerading is a good reminder that the world has become a den of a glorified "POPular" culture ... Yes, if there weren't individuals that give originality, creativity and equality a good name, we'd be lost. Hyped up fakery spreads as easily as the common cold... Liked how the word posse conjured up an image of the lone ranger and his mask ... He was a hero but couldn't reveal his true identity ... Anyway ...The ending is right on! ... Viva la difference' ... Good job RCA ..
