Do you dislike the camera, my parent?

Or do you dislike me, the photo, its' inherent?

In most cases, unhappiness is not always apparent

In order to see unhappiness, it takes more than an eye... it takes a keen eye-one that is trained

At times, we all display a false sense of happiness just to make it seem as if we are in good spirits

But..."How do we really know if a smile represents genuine happiness?" because smiles are also on the faces of the satiric

And I can see beyond your smile and what hides behind it…your emotions are esoteric

It is a common assumption that a smile is a traditional, photographic, policy

And, it also a presumption that smiling signifies happiness, but that concept in itself is also a fictional, holographic, fallacy-

as it is also common for some of us to utter a specific word - a product of diary

Knowingly, we are well aware that when we utter the word "CHEESE"... it is a tale, like a fairy

I am more than a lens

I am an artificial inanimate being who is emotionally prudent

Some of my clients are under the impression that smiling at me is incumbent

I can see your unhappiness- and I can tell, you only smile to elude it

Beyond that curve, that pretentious curve- you call a smile, I can see your simmering pain

I am inquisitively curious as to why do you glance at this replicated image in a manner that is so mundane

For a moment, a smile can be sustained

but... the key question is, "After the flash, will your happiness remain?"

You pose...

The shutter winks...

The question is, "Are your emotions and the image in sync...?"

But... its audience will never know the answer to that question, simply because a camera has no instinct

But... a smile in itself is truly clever. It can manipulate what others think - like the altering of one's consciousness during the excessive consumption of an alcoholic drink.
