Alas

Should I smile? Should I whine?
At soft maladies or brutal signs
Pieces of intention scattered around
Slant remarks of dirty grime.

Questions strike the young
Beautiful and sometimes bold.
Fingers pointed by the crowds
Only demean them more.

Deceit becomes ubiquitous
While beauty remains puny.
Alas this cowardly world
Afraid to be on terms of its own/
