Life is an Act

Life is an Act As life marches on swiftly As clocks tick incessantly We, the shadows of existence Act out our scenes On the glorious global stage. Are we heroes, are we failures? Does the audience applaud or do they jeer? Or do they bawl? Our acts can enthrall Or it can decimate us. Are we role models? Are we unworthy actors? Do the youth stare in awe Or do they cringe in horror? What lessons are passed down? What values are cherished? Culture is eroded. Language undergoes change. Morals, ethics and values are mouthed Devoid of meaning and understanding. Words are spoken without feeling. Actions robotic and plastic.
