The Non-art At a posh theatre in New York where ticket prices Are more than a working man's monthly wage An actor took it upon himself to lecture the vice- president-elect In a manner that was both offensive and patronising What is an actor? It is a person who speaks the lines written by others And if he speaks those lines smoothly ***** is famous Acting is not really an art form more like a mimicking form it Comes in the same category as poetry a non-art What can we say about the publican who applauded this display? Of vulgarity other than to find them tasteless and ignorant Actors should speak their lines political opinions off stage the same Goes for poet to write your dreamy lines but leave your Politics to the Twitter pages
