When a Smile Is No Longer

Hey all smile
Look around in peripheral see
Tell me
Fuse your eyes to me

Tell me what is
Look around in peripheral see
Tell me
Is what you see you glee

Tell me if you can't smile
Don't tell me this and that
For I know through your thoughts
Your in society that's Paraquat

Funom Makama February 6, 2016 at 8:55 AM your words soften my heart like a damsel in need of a companion..... Your lines are sweeteners to a curious mind which is absolutely satisfied. There's this eagerness I have running to your pages and your reputation of meeting that expectation is beyond any form of appreciation or grading. Beyond 7 my friend!!

Jan Allison January 9, 2016 at 2:47 PM Gosh James this is dark deep and sad especially the final stanza :-( hugs Jan xx James Fraser January 10, 2016 at 11:11 AM Hiya Jan, I'm fine. A short piece purely aimed at assholes in society that through their misery they make others not smile. Me, I smile daily like a Cheshire Cat :) - hugs James xx
