Delusive Smiles Poem by Michael John Bade

People's faces convey
diverse human emotions,
But how can we recognize
the sincerity of that expression,
To avoid mere delusion
which directly leads into
A hazardous suffocation?

Simple smiles don't always
show great affection.
It sometimes a fanciful
and erroneous illusion,
That can bring down
and make us feel alone,
Without any consideration.

Smiles explicitly cost nothing,
It can't be borrowed
or even stolen by anyone,
But it can somehow cause
never-ending commotion,
Effectuating painful distraction,
that can only be done
By a single dropp of poison.
