Written by Trevor Mhlanga (Edited by Kudakwashe Nhlanhla Chikosi)
Your sight right now is an illusion
The smiles you see are not real
So don't be left in confusion
They are not showing how truly feel
They speak of love as strong as steel
But act with hypocritical derision
They know of your Achilles heel
And cut you with deadly precision
There are those who you gruesomely hurt
Yet show warmth from the moment you meet
Their faces are like bandages that cover the deep cut
That are decorated fake smiles when you meet
Then there are those who are put off by your presence
Yet embrace you so that they can easily back-stab you
Truth is they are sickened by your very existence
Yet behave like people who endeared to you
You see them getting to you in friendly faces
But their inner thoughts and feelings are morally unfit
They may be just mad at you and wishing to tear you to pieces
But certainly what you see is far from it!!!
