Our haven without ends,
A circle we all call
Our Family of Friends!

GILDING

How adept we are
At gilding our lives,
Not wishing to bore,
Those, we wish to know.
We embellish
What we consider
Our mundane existence,
In an effort
To make ourselves
More acceptable.
Lies, palatable lies
But with no criminal intent.

very perceptive, and yes, so true, but some lay it on even thicker than others,
