I What if this life is a play, and we the actors each day, an insane play for sick and sadistic amusement. II Oh, then life would be nothing, existence would mean not a thing, all our pain and suffering just a absurd plot. III The dead just discarded actors, our life determined by chapters, a chapter written by a mean, evil higher being. IV Perhaps this life is an experiment, for some species entertainment, in a theater absurd where we are zoo animals. V Or maybe whatever we do, we play our part then its adieu, our destiny planned, each path, our story written. VI We are part of a theater absurd, we play a part word for word, oh, wouldn't such a play be a sad, sad, sad read. _____________________ February 2, 2017 Poetry/Verse/Theater of the Absurd Copyright Protected, ID 17- 872-099-0 All Rights Reserved.

Can relate to this - sometimes feels we're in a puppet show or a soap opera. Congratulations on your win BW. All the best! Mark :-)

Yes we are the theatre and we are absurd. But then a little bit of poetry keeps us sane. This is a very good poem. Congratulations, Kai

Too true! It would be! I loved all six verses as they fell into play with one another beautifully!
