Hoax!

The actor was so thrilled to be offered a part

uneasy that two suited men

told  him he had to sign a binding contract

no disclosure or go to prison

realised there was no choice had to agree

but offered him a huge fee!

 

Pressurised signed was told to wait for a call

they would not disclose details

life put on hold regretting that offer of work

could not contact agency

what had he committed to it blew his mind

wishing time he could rewind!

 

Several days later his house phone rang

a voice gave a short message

outside ten minutes apprehension grew

picked up his bag and waited

at precisely the time stated a van arrived

from then on freedom was deprived!

 

A side door shot open abruptly told to enter

once inside the vehicle sped away

within not alone three other men squatted

nobody spoke on that journey

what seemed like hours being thrown about

he was filled with fear and doubt!

 

At last it stopped they were greeted by a man

smartly dressed and well spoken

apologised  for covert action and no information

found themselves in a large hangar

on one side changing rooms and catering truck

it dawned on him here they were stuck!

 

It was cold as they were shown to a huge room

chairs were placed facing a screen

sitting the smart man went to the front lingered

until they were all quietly seated

explained he was the director of this project

with those present was about to connect!

 

From behind them armed guards now entered

please do not be alarmed he said

they are here for our protection and security

you have been chosen to participate

in a conspiracy that must never be exposed

the screen lit up the secret disclosed!

 

Images of a barren landscape was dispalyed

this is the set built-in this hangar

here the moon surface has been recreated

because we are going to hoax

for the want of a better word the moon landing

with astronauts on surface standing!

 

This is the first meeting of our brave flight crew!

 

Just another conspiracy theory?
