Trapped within the politeness of an ignorant world, I smile to the robots of a society.
Shaking hands with no heart....greeting with no soul.
Entering into a gathering of fools...I wear smiles as masks… Practiced and played
Bearing teeth like fangs
Acknowledging aliens as they step forward
***********
Grateful at last for the beginning of a speech I do not hear...
With sleepy dread, I sat trapped by the endless etiquettes instilled from birth
****
An hour passed…Anticipated freedom comes and again.....life begins
