The Masks We Wear

She wears a mask

the mask of corona

she wears a mask a mask of Abroo(image)

She wears a mask

A mask of Chastity

She wears a mask

A mask of rigidity

she wears a mask

A mask of Silence

She wears a mask

A mask of Farhang

(culture)She wears a Mask

A mask of right or wrong

She wears a Mask

The mask of her community

She wears a mask

A mask of her family

She covers her whole being

masks on her voice,

her eyes ears hands on her sense of smell

She wears a mask on all her senses a mask of no feeling

Beneath the masks there is no one there is nothing not a grain of sand on the footsteps of a child beneath the masks there are no shores no breeze no sea no roses

Nothingness is in the Land WHICH ONE IS MORE DEADLY THE CORONA MASK OF THE ABOVETHIS IS THE LEGACY OF THE PATRIARCHY THE MASKS –
