We Are All Hidden by A de Carvalho

My son sent this poem a little while ago. I read it a few times and found it thought provoking.
He's been going through a rough divorce and children are involved. We share a love for poetry that makes you think. I hope you all like it.

WE ARE ALL HIDDEN

If you judge me by the masks I wear
You will be guilty of duplicity,
For the masks you judge me with

 

Damn! Hit the button too soon ,Ray, where's the edit button??? LOL?
I'll start again.

WE ARE ALL HIDDEN

If you judge me by the masks I wear
You will be guilty of duplicity,
For the masks you judge me with
Mask the masks you judge.
We are all hidden, as brood in fright,
Standing on empty air, on an illusionary light
That swaths our pointless being,
We create layers and sub-layers
Of unawareness and awareness,
That essentially add no factual insight
Onto our self or being.
We are fools fooling ourselves
And other fools in an uninterrupted
Moment we've called life.

Cease all judging and the masks collapse -
All foolishness Is disrupted,
Leaving awareness or unawareness,
Just simple facts and being.
Live a physical life through your valid senses.
Live a simple life through your valid senses.
Live your life, and just your life, through your valid senses.
Be you, simply you, no more, no less than you.
And all will be made plain and alright.
