Action

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
