A man hides behind

The mask of the unknowing

Does anyone know?

The eyes of a boy

Show the despair of a man

Yet what is it there?

As time continues

A boy begins to laugh

At the funny man.

As time continues

The mask of the unknowing

The boy looks beyond.

Out reaches the boy

But as the mask falls to

The ground, there is nothing.

The illusion tears through the boy

What... is behind that mask?
