Masks

               Often than not, a need arises where one is compelled to put on a mask…apart from malice or deceit, it serves a purpose that, at times, may be deemed charitable.   Though the present, more than ever, has been liberal in its campaign for the  individual to express one’s self…”freely”…most people do not really have [...]
