My African friend asks me

why white people seem to smile only for show,
and say Thank-you and Sorry so very much.
I reflect on this. 
I wonder if it is because an emotional insecurity
(born of Christianity)
that has also led them to conquer and ransack the world,

has suppressed their playfulness in the interests of competitiveness,
and engendered a fear of spontaneity
in the pursuit of a grim hedonism which
has turned them into leering puppets ?
