Your Facade
Why is it that you want some face,
But when no one's looking, you're lacking grace?
Where's the candor of former days?
Time has transformed you in so many ways.
Why do you gossip and tell lies
When guilt is plainly showing in your eyes?
Do you want them to do the same?
Were you thinking that life is just a game?
Your playtime songs and chants
Have changed
As well as your dreams and wants.
Oh! You had it prearranged!
Twinkle, twinkle little star
Your hard words have left me scars
Rock, paper, scissors
You have hurt your neighbors
London bridge is falling down
And you forgot your hometown
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Kindness to repay, you do not recall.
Hey diddle, diddle
You're no longer fit as a fiddle.
Three blind mice,
Your soul has turned to ice.
What happened to the loving lass
Who used to stay up primping by the glass?
What happened to simplicity
That used to make everybody happy?
Why are you now so blue and low,
Did you forget that you reap what you sow?
Look at what you have turned into:
Someone who doesn't know what's right to do!
