Captain´s Log

Callous Fool

You cover your callousness
With a smiling face and voice
Yet the bluntness
Of your eloquence
Betrays your impertinence

You can never fool me
I am long past the state
Of a fool
My senses honed
To smell a rat in a hair do

Yet it never ceases
To amaze me seeing it work
You play on people’s kindness
They think you good
They want your talent be good

All I can see is an ugly face
when you don’t feel my gaze
