Smiling Through a Fence

There you were smiling though the fence
On the day they left only cents
What then could be your one offence?
To make them show such high pretence
 
That fence, a barrier to them and you
Was it your smile that made them slew?
Their guilt concealed they formed a queue
To homage make and false adieu
 
Behind you stands the hope of Rome
An empire drawn from a golden throne
But like all great states its end will come
Did you know that it would be undone?
 
Did that knowledge hide in your smile?
Did you see fear and smell their bile
Whatever took them that extra mile?
Your falsehood, smiling through a fence?

(2012)

Whatever position you find yourself in, you should never smile falsely at a tiger!
