Charade Parade: A Poetic Masquerade
We all are going the same places in life, we just take different roads to get there, and throughout our journeys many of us only get to do what we have to do instead of what we love—“marching to the beat,” so to speak. In this march who we are underneath is not who we display to the world, thus creating the “Charade Parade.”
This collection of poetry expresses who Edwin Enoch is beyond the Charade Parade, and he wishes who his readers are beyond their daily charade will connect with who he is underneath and see that his experience may not be so different from their own and they will gain a sense of connectivity.
