Bubble

Some day the inconsequential may find itself revealed

Dare to walk this plateau of significant insignificance 
this mind of indifferent
and apply such a steadfast mitigated circus
in clogged up self-ingratiated opinions

Better that every servant serves their purpose
and reads their script like everyone else
dance to the tune
along with the trained dogs of celluloid wealth

Portrayed in the skin of isolated pomposity
such an Oscar awarded to political sneers
those outbursts of emotional mendacity 
a mere expense of fashion is how easy 
life appears 

Overburdened with concern
realities unreality of box office applause
pandemonium headlines what a celebrity can earn
and every act is acted by pressing play or pause

Just another show motion, another accolade of pretense
another incontinent photo moment to make them all proud
another vacuous misinterpretation
in their own overpaid defense 
just street entertainers blowing their bubbles into the crowd

Then skip down the streets yelling bubbles, bubbles should not be allowed
