The Hypocrite

by daniel Monday, July 1st, 2002.

I wear a cloak of gold and lead

It hides me from the world I’ve fled

Outside, my face may show a grin

But just to quell the pain within

This cloak I wear, this thing you see

Is nothing, but you think it’s me.

Inspired by Dante’s Inferno, Canto XXIII (lines 55-60)
