The Surface

Gem Lake

 The Surface

—o—

We operate

You and I

We nod, we converse, we agree

We go about our business

On the surface

`

The chinks

They show on occasion

But we conceal them

Expertly shroud them

On the surface

`

And those who dare

Peep beneath

They rear aghast

At the rife ugliness they see

A cauldron of noxious brews

`

Of voices falling on deaf ears

Of conflicting emotions

Of affections forgotten

Of relations trivialized

Of promises broken

`

Yet it all appears just fine

On the surface
