I seldom smile,
Especially lately.
Looking at myself I notice
I am no more the same.
In spite of me I am present
At vile formal rituals.
I tolerate the preach of the ones
Who don’t practice it and spellbind.
Be it understood: any mention,
Be it understood: any mention,
Is not entirely coincidental.
Is not entirely accidental.
Believe me.
I vaguely reply
To languid and gushy
Altruisms of convenience
With sincere and polite aloofness.
I gradually adapt myself
To subtle moral blackmail.
Looking at you I notice
I find you rather
Despicable.
Be it understood: any mention,
Be it understood: any mention,
Is not entirely coincidental.
Is not entirely accidental.
Believe me.
Be it understood: any mention,
Be it understood: any mention,
Is not entirely coincidental.
Is not entirely accidental.
Believe me.
