Pretense?

 Smiles

Smiling,

Today,

Among forced acquaintances

is pretending

To care

When you don’t give a shit

And they don’t either

And we all smile

Knowing no one gives a shit

Because we have to and

Not,

Wanting to.

But we still linger to pretend.

Smiling,

Not giving a shit;

Hating it all;

Especially them!

Who me?

I’m just smiling!

 Reviews of "Smiles"
Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on February 11, 2014
Quite apropos for those in the matrix of corporate climbing. If you don't want to be one of the recently unemployed, better to grin and bear it until you can be "the boss" and cut staff who have sourpussses with a big grin on your face because your salary just increased from your cost-cutting skills.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
