The Curtain Call

death is the final curtain
for a drama done
opening with birth and 
going through 
several acts of life  

take your bows now
for only your stand-ins 
will be at the curtain call
and you will not be there 
to read the reviews

so write your reviews now 
and play them in each role
and each act with skill
for only the play 
will appear the final fact.
