Theatre of Dreams
Leading actors, outer casings, all the world’s a stage
Invoking mere sporadic thoughts, floating on brainwaves
Venting anger hanging on the lips of stories told
Envision entertaining masses, breaking legs so old
Yielding to pretentious living, shining star so bright
Owning moments, guest appearing each heavenly night
Usurping and embracing almost everything you see
Re-enacting scenes as you become all you can be
Dying and betraying what defines your inner core
Ridiculing newbies while you search for something more
Exploring other options with a similar result
A satisfying outcome dawns for you and your dear cult
Move the crowd with encores; I’m sure you’ll know just how
Satisfy their need and yours, then exit with a bow
