Smiling skeleton
Still drinking his cup of Joe
Some things never change

Ballerina’s dance
In midair hanging from ropes
Fluid grace always

One wise diplomat
Fine suit, tie, and sombrero
In touch with his roots

Looking afar for the truth
Never finding it

The devil resides within
Eyes give him away
