How I hate courtesy -

sister of politeness.

One day the fallacy

show - Pretty grey forest.

Many hearts led astray -

By this rude injustice.

Sleepless nights - will portray -

Enemy's accomplice

Feigned love is worse than poison

The body in pain

One moment released - waken

To meet "Cordial" thus named.

As if feelings were fragile -

Like an opened red tulip

Run from anger - too docile

For the action of friendship
