Silent Footsteps

MKS

I met a man passing by in the street

We smiled with a "hello" and a friendly greet

 

Ignoring and lying both, and hiding woes

Hearing the silent footsteps of our shadows

    Only four lines to convey the falseness of social conventions and how cursory the pleasantries of society are. Very well done a fave

  • Poetic Licence

    I love this, highlighting how false and blinkered society can be, nicely done

  • RSM0812

    Nice. I like the last line very much. Short and sweet with great imagery.
