A Kiss On the Forehead

A kiss on the forehead Is a gesture of betrayal It's not a kiss of love Filled with joy and humor. It would be better to kiss a dog Which is as silent as a wandering Moron in the Latin quarters. Oh! Poor are those who smile To these words emanating from a place Where everyone has atavistic rights Despite the silly threats of the accursed. A kiss on the forehead Is a sign of punishment It is an act of treason. P.S. Translation of ‘ Un Baiser Sur Le Front’ By Hébert Logerie.
