The Actor Vanquished

Darting up and down, left and right Over my little being With fright you easily show your might Have I ever sought your meaning? Have you ever stopped and wondered? Torrid pendulum striking, yet unheard, Of what use is that behaviour? Of losing your utmost valor! Even if your shield is your armor And your weapon lies in being an actor! Vincible you are and easily exhausted, A mere puppet, completely roasted Though your darting intention may be to hurt or blemish You forget, you form part of those whom my bliss did abolish!
