Explanation:
There is no connection between their actions and their feelings. This is a serious problem in modern society but the poet criticizes it in the true style of a satire. He is trying to tell them to relearn from their children how to be natural and honest and sincere.

Theme:Always be real...
About author:
Gabriel Okara was a Nigerian poet he had wrote many short stories and poems...
The poet’s understanding of adult society is extremely negative. The poet distinctly portrays how people in modem times have become hypocrites and fake emotions to be socially accepted. The phrases of hospitality they use “feel at home” and “come again” are fake that a third visit would be disallowed by the hosts. In modem times, people don’t value real emotions instead they value positions and possessions. Even while shaking hands, they try to assess the material worth of a person. People don’t laugh with heart, Their ice-cold block eyes search the person they talk to. Most of them have acquired the skill of wearing a standard, deceitful, artificial smile on all occasions, i.e., “portrait smile”. Thus the poem is nothing but criticism of modem life.
