Flashing Teeth Is Not Smiling Poem by Qiniso Mogale
Flashing Teeth Is Not Smiling
Showing teeth is not smiling
Showing teeth is not smiling
Flashing teeth is not smiling
Flashing teeth is not smiling
Some are being impudent
Some are being impertinent
Like dogs they are not smiling
Like dogs they are preparing to bite.
Close friends have grinned at us
we thought they were smiling
Close relatives have grinned at us
we thought they were smiling
They were preparing to betray us
They were backbiting us
They were backstabbing us.
While flashing their teeth
While showing their teeth
We thought they were smiling
but they were preparing to bite us
Yes, they were preparing to bite us.
You are right. Showing or flashing teeth is not at all smile. This is an amazing poem beautifully penned and shared.10
