I'll quietly walk away
such that none would notice
the actors are too loud
and proud-- they displease


by their own voices
these people are self- betrayed
scarcely do they know
they are artificially made

how they overtly indulge
in  priming their self-image
the audience stands up
to embrace their message

if I haven't walked away
my heart could have bled
yet I well imagine
such malaise would widely spread
