A doll can only fool We cursed them all with smiling faces To comfort little children when they frown But a painted smile can only run as thick the plastic its placed upon When we grow tired of them They end in garbage wastelands With smiles still gracing their faces In rancid piles of various forgotten things Until it rains The cold hard rain of unshed tears And washes away the fake smiles Because no thing , no matter how small Should have to smile forever

Artificial Smiles
A doll can only fool We cursed them all with smiling faces To comfort little children when they frown But a painted smile can only run as thick the plastic its placed upon When we grow tired of them They end in garbage wastelands With smiles still gracing their faces In rancid piles of various forgotten things Until it rains The cold hard rain of unshed tears And washes away the fake smiles Because no thing , no matter how small Should have to smile forever
