Tinsel Town

As the movie starts, they cut out the heart,                                 
it’s beats on the living room floor.                                            
It’s a mob attack and everyone’s whacked
in a three ring circus of gore.
And what a surprise, in a disguise
the bad guy is dressed as the law.
He shoots everyone down, goes underground
and starts a family war.
It’s all bosoms and buns, grenades and guns                 
nothing but satyrs and whores.                                                             
It’s two thumbs down for tinsel town
there’s really no cause for applause.

How many actors are zero factors                             
off of the silver screen?
They slither around tinsel town
in satanic limousines,
picking up sleazes with neo diseases
and no moral hygiene. 
They play with fate, that often equates 
to playing their final scene.
The last curtain call is when critics fall
on them like a guillotine.
It’s two thumbs down for tinsel town
just color the scene gangrene.
