Copla 70 Invocation This Bad Guy World

COPLA 70 INVOCATION: This Bad Guy World To keep the play going - You? Who? Must see to it the plot’s a fix: Despite Freytag One thing’s certain – empty seats: No! Always a packed house to dry climax: Ideas may lag Good play bad ploy Good Guys don’t buy All that’s needed - someone to watch: Can house void clap You taught Your puppets on the sly To write their own plays Yours to match: Turn cheek for slap © T. Wignesan – Paris, 2014

Hello Dave! If the poet should explain his poem, then he has either failed in his composition or simply the reader has not done his "homework", but you are, at least, inquisitive, and you deserve some sort of explication. First, this's the 70th of the sequence; second, "God" or the non-anthropomorphic Immuable Law of the Universe (does exist) is here cast in the role of the dramatist, and Man ("His" creation) imitates the Master, and thus slaps Him in the face! Thanks. Wignesan
