Smile, That Is Involuntary. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Smile is exclusive to humans.
It can be genuine or fake, mostly fake.
It can be innocent or sexual, mostly sexual.
It can disarm without any arms.

Smile must be spontaneous,
Not like one before a camera.
Smile to show gratitude.
Smile not to win a fevour.

There is meaning in an infant’s smile.
There is meaning in mother’s smile.
There is meaning in lover’s smile.
Smile is expression of one’s heart.
