Analysis of A World Without A Face
Kenneth R. Jenkins 1961 (Augusta, GA)
No smile
To smile back at you
to make you laugh
No eyes to see
That smile of yours.
No lips
No lips to say how I feel.
Imagine if you will
A world
A world without a face
A gesture
A notion or something
From you to say
How I feel.
Imagine a world with out no smiles
A world with no tears.
A world with no laughter
A world without a face
A world with only
Silence.....
