A soldier in battle
A mom in childbirth
Both linked in their struggles
Each close to a truth
A film of the events
Five minutes to spare
The who, what, where, when, why’s
Have all hit the air
Some joy and some pathos
No sting to a welt
The truths in a struggle
Just seen and not felt
A subtle deception
It’s not really planned
Though filtered through ego
Was it live or just canned
Jaded we each must
Detach with a sigh
There’s no more to this stuff
Than what meets the eye
