A Kiss On The Forehead
A kiss on the forehead
Is a gesture of betrayal
It's not a kiss of love
Filled with joy and humor.
It would be better to kiss a dog
Which is as silent as a wandering
Moron in the Latin quarters.
Oh! Poor are those who smile
To these words emanating from a place
Where everyone has atavistic rights
Despite the silly threats of the accursed.
A kiss on the forehead
Is a sign of punishment
It is an act of treason.
