Drabble + Mask !
cotton, ceramics, abyss ! an identity is hidden, a single eye glows bright - - seeing a future that brings many a follower to a cause! dear, dear, a mask of a leader ! but, but !! does one need a mask to cover an entire body ? from hairline to toes, one great medical resource.. of course! don’t ‘cha know ? organizations these days have such great tracking tech!
a bit of a sad affair, indeed ! a world that yells at a species! where have civil rights gone ? ! down the toilet ! no ghoul should have to hide their gorgeous face! that bandaged one, she’s got a bit of a predicament, see ! quite literally running an army from the shadows .. pay hommage to your queen, the planter of your tree !
|||| fight, fight, she says . there’s a path to a fearless world out there ! the scale must be tipped. lives will be wasted, but for them she’ll keep her mask on . there’s a future ! she can see it, with that dastardly one eye, that bandaged girl can see it ! that mask, oh it’s no longer built of cotton and ceramics, it’s made of a devilish leader’s traits .
books, novels, a commentary ; a layer between herself and what she wants to say! why, they even think she’s one of them . she writes so well! no ghoul could do that, why would they ? they’re too busy hiding in their rat’s nests or terrorizing a neighborhood ! why, one moved in last week, and the property values just dropped to a big fat zero !
no, no, she writes about the things everyone is too afraid to say, too afraid to hear . she writes about the things that would cause a storm on television, because people are just too goddamn cowardly to face it head-on . her books are no mask, but a medium . how do you write a book about a ghoul and act like you don’t know what you’re saying anyways ?
well, you put on another mask .
a mask for the ghouls .
a mask for the humans .
a mask with the words “follow me to a future” !
