The Long Arms of a Smile
The long arms of a smile are sticky
They can pull down the heart of the strong
You can be a giant in your own right
The people can give you honor and glory
Your wits can be strong and unchallenged
But let a smile extent its tongue to kiss you
You can be as weak as papyrus rids of Red Sea
Yet once you were a Mahogany in Ituri Forests
This is a weapon of women against men
It is the lethal weapon of hidden enemies
The imaginary friend uses it with precision
The chameleon with its tongue is no match
