cast a life for a man to find death.
out of coldness took the last breath
shed off light from corners of darkness
pour out nothing but emptiness
unmask the pureness
…discover what is
unmask the mind
…seek what is behind
unmask the will
…unleash the power so still
he can stand stern by a foot
bear pain heavy as a rock but fought
….looked and gave a stare
….eyes that never dare
……………………….to fall in tears
……………………….to fall in fears
this is the man who stays behind what is
………..the man unmasked from all his bliss
this is the man of faith, stood by fate
………..the man unmask from worldly hate
from his death …a life was born again
bouncing back, fights to live even in his pain
from darkness-fair…survives to persist
in lone despair, man unmasks yearning to exist…
