Action
I tire of this perpetual play
These scripted words I am to say
Trying to appease the gathering crowd
Be emotionally charged, but not too loud
Just an actor on this public stage
Speaking words from off of a page
For there is a script the audience enjoys
Beware the script where honesty annoys
Stick to the lines you’ve been assigned
Live in the space the set crew designed
Just tell everyone that everything is fine
And play your role to the very last line
