A mouths fixed curvature is
dishonestly deceiving,
The truth eyed in retinas
beaming a darker side.
Worn in charades to conceal
authentic feeling a mask,
contorted pleasure in its
fraudulent extortion.
Smile in artificial laugh
eyes are mocking with disdain.
Malice in stiff mouths facades.
a cardboard mask is worn
Irises in verity
cannot conceal a nature,
smirking in honest contempt,
a grin harbouring a soul.
