Hapi Face by Anya











Hapi Face


Hidden in the mountains down…

…in a valley lives a town

Living happy here with me

Living happy living free


As I walked through at my pace

Noticed on the people’s face

No one had a single frown

“Welcome to Hapi Town.”


A smile here and a smile there

There was a smile everywhere

They shared and they cared.

To break a law they never dared


They were kind and very hospitable

To harm there guest seemed impossible

But unknown to me beneath my eyes

I was in a town of lies.


Now this may seem to be folly

The town was truly melancholy

Sorrow sunk deep within

Secret regret of all their sins


Instead of fame they lived in shame

With no one in the world to blame

No one to blame but they

Who created disaster every day


They were sure they’d go insane

So to block away the pain

They painted their frown away

And drew on a smile every day


Here looks like a happy place

When you put on a happy face

Doesn’t matter what they say

People like you better that way


Doesn’t matter if its fake

Be sure to smile while you're awake.

Just close your eyes and forget

Every deep and dark regret.


When I found out their deeds

All their rules and all their creeds

When the people knew I had known

It wasn’t just scorn they shone


For they concluded what was best

Was to do in their own guest.

And as I was to meet my demise

These simple words flashed before my eyes


They had made a welcome sign

Painted pink, made with pine.

I read the words before I was dead,

“Welcome to Hapi Town.” it said.
