If you open yourself to scrutiny
With a chance remark when getting groceries,
How many people just ignore
Your mindless comment in the store?
Not caring what you have to say
They turn their backs, they move away.
Did they really cross themselves
While looking intently at the shelves?
Are the canned goods really safer?
Could eye contact really pose a danger?
Who knows what might be lurking there,
Behind a smile, should they beware?
What's happened to humanity?
When they look at you, what do they see?

A most poignant poem about the decent of relationships in society and the present lack of trust. Sad and to where it will go no one can say. Well penned
