THE ACTORS

The Actors…

Collecting stones

Donning masks

And rattling bones

The Actors…

Role off stage

Down a crimson path

And in their cage

The Actors…

Find rules to bend

Shear some corners

But follow trends

The Actors…

Demand the cream

And wave their captives

To bid new dreams

The Actors…

Release this curse

When they purge their hearts

And fill their purse

The Actors…

Make too much noise

Skimming the surface

With their shallow toys

The Actors…

Play hide and seek

But the curtain falls

When you start to peek

The Actors…

Are skimming stones

Changing masks

And hanging bones
