behind the tough exterior

 we see, we judge and  we conclude.
we hear, we judge and we conclude.
 never pausing to think or to wonder
 what lies behind the tough exterior.

 like a soldier dressed for war,
 like the tortoise or the sea turtle
 like hard surface of the earth,
 like the overly annointed man of God

like the girl who lost her father and still wears a smile
like the ice queen at your office or your school
like the phone or the computer(try dropping yours from 10 floors up)
 like hard rock music.

WHAT LIES BEHIND THE TOUGH EXTERIOR????
