The African poet observes a marked change in the altitude of Africans. Those who were once so genuine, warm and sincere, have now suddenly turned cold and hostile towards him. He realizes that the early values in African society like sincerity, good-naturedness, simplicity, whole-heartedness, hospitality, friendliness, originality and uniqueness have now drastically changed. The earlier warmth and heartfulness has gone. He finds himself behaving the same way as those around him. He has learnt to wear different faces for different occasions. He wears faces like dresses. He says not what his heart tells hftn. His smiles are also fake. He smiles only to be socially accepted. He has learnt to say “Good bye”. After being bored, he brings a fake smile and says “It’s been nice talking to you” when he meant “good-riddance”.
