The Rebellion of the Shadows

The Rebellion of the Shadows By Elton Camp Shadows show the actual shape Silhouettes that the person ape For the elderly, defects duplicated That advancing years have created Stooped, lame, walking with a cane Harsh realities to bring them pain Shadows decided to rebel What was once there to tell Old lady dancing with glee Letting all the onlookers see Youthful beauty and grace Instead of a wrinkled face Old man in youthful days With his talents did amaze A real man about town was he Just as exuberant as could be Thus, the shadows could reveal What the passing years did steal Their bold revolt lasted only a day Shadows reverted to the former way
