Our top-notch masks
Are molded quite perfectly!
They're all made the same,
And loved by society!

Smooth and unmarred,
No trace of entity,
Our masks are made solely
To hide all identity!

So don't be a misfit!
Put an end to your shame!
Come into our store,
Where all masks are the same!

Ehem, why didn't this make Editors' Choice?? This is so good! Really, the most creative outlook on Society I've ever come across. I think I'd add one or two more stanzas, tops, make it sound even more like a cheesy advertisment! At least thats how the voice of the poem spoke to me, but it's a good thing. A very good thing! :) Keep it up, you have serious talent!
