Synthetic paid smiles,
that make you pay-
The beautiful receptionist,
charming air-hostess,
waitress with hot soup!
Forgot ever-blithe ads?
The perfect couple,
Doting mothers-chubby children.
Pretenses of a perfect world,
Ruses for profit, with
Fake expressions,
Happiness disguised.
Familiar people,
daily 'Hi's' and 'Bye's';
Feigned contentment,
Strained cheeks,
Abnormal kinks
in mundane life,
amid raging storms,
turbulent mind.
Lessons of courtesy from
moral science classes ?
Yes, but, still
Fake expressions,
Happiness disguised.
why don't you allow anonymous comments?
ReplyDeletevery strong reflections. i like.
Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'll allow it, 'anonymity' might give me a better critique.
Exactly !
ReplyDeleteI know that's an insipid word to praise poetry. But still..
And it also reminds me of my poem "Song of the past".
Perectly put here.
Thanks, I don't wish to be praised all the time.
