Exploitation
There's no reason to treat others well,
most do it for show and tell,
don't smile too eagerly,
most mistaken it for passivity,
when in reality,
you're performing polite civility.
You don't have to listen to me,
but watch their eyes smirk,
with seemingly innocuous glee,
on these occasions,
proceed with caution,
cause the taps of their fingers,
to the rhythm of their calculating eyes,
assessing,
your potential for exploitation.
