LAME…

…ACTORS

I’ve spent too much time

in enemy territory

where new rules of life

were:

L-IE to the core!

A-BUSE with every word!

M-ISUSE each machine!

E-RUPT

any conflict you encounter

in the abundant surge of knowledge

from a nursing school covered in shame

of your Italian tragic case

only reminiscent of a Greek tragedy

in your historic togas from centuries ago

never updated, only with the same knife

paving the way

on the morbid corpses, instead

of the proscaenium in the theatre

– a place where you can be exclusively

ashamed of the main stage

happening in reality

as if time never stopped

in your murderous world

setting a target

on my humble figure

A-llowing them to

C-reate

T-ransitional points of view

O-bjecting everything I say

R-eturning it to a place where

S-hift may occur at any time

in nonsensical circumstances around

not fitting any truth

but who give a damn about it still?!
