Learn To Smile

The dusk is heavy, a dwindling twilight,
The road is tough, a deserted sight,
No angelic souls here, No hope in a mile,
An infinite abyss...Can you still smile?

The mind's a roadblock, a senseless wall,
The heart's a zombie, a sanguinary stall,
No missionaries here, No introspective trials,
A numbing pain...Can you still smile?

The world's a vanity fair, a squandering hell,
The common man's a green pig, a self-obsessed rebel,
No humanitarians here, no heroic gods to dial,
A callous graveyard...Can you still smile?

Troubled waters neck-high, waves of burning steel,
No sorrow to discard, No joy to feel,
Doped happiness in nerves, a poisoned aisle,
No answered prayers...Can you still smile?

Facing a monotonous blasphemy, a suppressed ache,
Residing in a traitorous nature, Ubiquitous fakes,
Meeting smiling foes, the League of friends...hostile,
A lonely troubadour...Can you still smile?

An age-old cliché, "Laughter's the best medicine",
Timeless wisdom...Frowned brows are insensible sins,
The battle will be yours...the wait's worthwhile,
A humble request...just master a simple smile.
