Collective Guilt Lm‘What good´s permitting some prophet of doom? To wipe every smile away …’
The orator grins at his drunken audience through make up and mask
Opens the cabaret’s veil in the theatre of forsaken minds on the run
Champagne flows from magic fountains while Berlin falters from grace
The...

Dramatic Monologue
Dream Bigger"Reality is something you rise above." - Liza Minelli
today is nothing less than your blank canvas
so splash those colors never meant to harness
reality is just a bland and neutral tone
you’re meant to dare and soar alone
so spread your wings and don’t be sad
this stage...

Somewhere LmSo many times I skip
laughing with friends, arm in arm
then wake and ... they're gone.
Fields where flurries drift
- melt on my brow.
I reach for a sane moment,
steady fingertips - somewhere a smile
that didn't hide tears.
Just one day when
that disheveled path of...

Something HappenedWe once were discerning,
we once had opinions.
But then we stopped learning,
and turned into minions.
One day, something happened.
We can’t tell you when.
One day we got crapped on,
and ceased to be men.
There once was a telly
whose end-word was “vision”,
Vidal and Minelli.
Who took the decision?

Reality Lm"Reality is something you rise above." Liza Minelli
Friends declare,
“We won’t get very far—
not from this town. That’s just how things are!”
“Don’t you dare
say that!” I scold each time.
“That attitude should be deemed a crime.”
Ban despair
so you’ll be free to see
you can make a new...

Our reality are thoughts carefree,
were created for the purpose of
being infinite surpassing scope
all the lives that lived and lives to be.
Truth en route for tables tangible,
where tainted lives have a chance for hope,
then after the morning laughter ends,
exceeding we lift all changeable.
We rise ere Heaven...
