Coloured Smiles: The Deceitful Friend
A bitter truth is worth listening to
Than a sweet lie covered under
The canopy of a coloured smile
Lips drew apart to exhibit
Whiteness and blackness of teeth
I know that doesn’t tell the purity of the heart
Struck by an enemy is considered you’re vulnerable
Struck by a friend will consider you
To be unprepared for the unknown
My heart is heavily crying
For folks that profess love
But hide it in the abyss of their hearts
My heart is heavily praying
For foes that confess hatred
But the heart melts when heat by a ray of sun
My heart denies but desires to recall
Any that she grudged
But if she did, she’s praying for the rays of healing
Let my folks be my bone
To back me up in times I go lazy
And not to be my foes
Smiling at my every crime
Smiling at my every flaw
Smiling everyday by day
Smiling with coloured teeth
Smiling…
A black coloured smile
Smiles initiated by crimes
Smiles born to burn up every drop of doubt
Smiling to create plights
I dare not shroud crimes with coloured smiles...
