Sometimes people don't understand

A simple smile

Is not so simple.

We neglect to envision the inside

Because we possess the capability to see the outer layer.

The complexity of a simple smile corners itself on the inside

Where nobody bothers to look.

And yet the nations live on

In question to whether or not others feel the same way.

Do not look on the outside.

The deceptions deceive.

We must learn the complexity

of simplicity.
