Artifice To Edifice

Oh how we value artifice;
Indeed we'll bow and 'scrape'

Upon a stage of the falsest rage We hang; 
on every word and break

The props are  real to viewers 
the plots we know by heart

They’re lionized and idolised 
most people of these arts

We imbue them with much value
Though some are not so good.'

There seems an understanding
That the softer life is best

Though of those that there 'labour' 
 seem limp wristed in the main

However this easy life it seems
Was the choice of harder brains.

Login to Reply Joe Maverick Date: 2/27/2018 10:12:00 AM Thanks for the coment Harry I guess you can look at this many ways, I am trying to cover a lot of ground in this, the thing that amazes me is how many people like falshood' have you seen the phone mast plastic trees? No doubt the builder of them thinks them great, its like everything that is 'created' or existing we make very poor copys of whatever and man is over the moon about it.'
