lip-service as a dis-ease 4/12/19

the spread of the lip-service as a dis-ease 

affecting the comfort zone of other humans.

it is disguised as complimentarianism 

or sometimes as false approving appraisal 

or the turn of an imperative or directive cliche 

it harbors a false sense of agreement 

or assigned shared perspective

it is the presence in the moment 

that has no depth 

and no sincerity of carriage.

it is a defense for appearance 

but carries a pseudo sense of warmth

it is an appease of expectation 

by presenting common sense of worth

it can appear as neighborly

or delivered from a service point of view

it can be a verbal requirement for workers

to present to customers as if friendly

the words may go unchallenged

but the tone is a dead giveaway 

it is a dispassionate way of presenting a sense of ease

the words spoken are at least passible

but the intent and the delivery by tone

belie the humdrum and monotony of the phrasing

when enough is said as such

dis-ease has the stir of prominence

the connectivity is a false front

the heart is closeted

the everyday features evidence of dreary

tedious is the eventual surmise

a deep sigh comes from out of the blue

lip-service becomes the commonplace

and dis-ease is then

a sense of feeling alone 

even in a crowd . . .
