screaming goat.

Protagonist

The main character

loses value.

The side one

always dies.

The sequels get worse and worse

built on endless lies.

Hollywood,

Bollywood.

I’m too far gone.

What has the world come to,

this ground I stand on?

Children on drugs,

adults being thugs.

Big men with swords

taking from the weak,

feeding the strong.

It’s all so bleak.

The bird with it’s song,

but a tied beak.

Outside the movies

Beyond the screens

What if the actor’s screams

were real?

To the critics

that would appeal.

But to the rest?

Don’t test

until the day has come.
