Veil

Such a perfect, intricate web.
Delicate, carefully woven, and, ever so fragile.

The thin cover shows a semblance of purity, beauty and innocence.
The masses look on, blissfully content with the aesthetic reassurance.
The few look closer, a judicious evaluation is required.

Under the penetrating stare, the shroud lifts.
