“When the Curtain Falls”

Life is but a mass of
Beautifully choreographed chaos
Sprinkled with fragmented genius
Throughout the length and
Breadth of the stage

We the actors keep
This world of entertainment
'Sisyphean'

“the show must go on”
they say, “for without it
we shall perish”

but where is all the fame
and the fortune?
Nestled in the heavens, perhaps
Among the stars

Ready for the granting
Upon our physical demise
