DRAMA'S DRAMA

Updated: Jun 8

The dressing room shrouds it's own interplay

A feigning disguised drama of egos to dissuade

Actors smiling sweetly to each other so their influence to sway

When backs are turned the mood transpires good will fades

Then rolling their eyes with looks that kill

Psychologically turning the knife with laughing so shrill

No comfort zone for actors ever exists only to thrill

Each and every other actor's boundaries overstepped

A sole part in drama's drama is the only behest

The whispers the stares, jealousies beware

Fake camaraderie between wizards and witches

The rumours fighting to flare and openly wear

Only their magic is black looking in the mirror constricted

See what hidden truths are reflecting back in its snare

Ambition wielding ruthlessness a selling of their souls

Cutting darkness calling all to plunge into the liars lair

The bright lights shines somewhat abruptly always corruptly

Into the star's eyes blinds them with grandiosity never salubrious

Persuades them to believe their pretentious publicity erupts

An ignoble and divisive disguise complicitly impecunious

Empty praises giving fodder to convince perpetuating the game

Deceived within the deceptive duplicity of entertainment's disguise

The business of show falls in its own bottomless abyss full of remorseless shame

Gathering moss of the loneliness of fame's prolific enduring myth's surmised

Actors take heed not to ride roughshod over your peer's career

Afterall you are all creative talented skilled and unique of thespian bliss

You will all live breath and devour imagination's divines like a literary spy's smear

With love of art as your modus operandi under that thinly veiled veneer's wish

Navigating the plays of old and a savoured time lived yet swiftly passed forever missed
