'All the World's a Stage'


'All the World's a Stage' (contest:Kaleidoscope)


Thought

torn curtains need never close
with actors of every nation composed

masked or known

fifteen minutes in adornment worn
on a stage

screening centuries

a star is born
aged

and another born
again

and again

yet the audience stays
same

briefly awed, bored, dazed

as this constant stream
never ends this ongoing dream
turned nightmare

though a kaleidoscope of faces try

across the international skies

to silence perceived babies cries
silent screams of the innocent
first time seeing . . .

yet, the end result
in theatrical hands?


the theatre closes

the rats get fatter

as the city rapidly
continues

to die . . .

Is the end of this story a tragedy?
