Up come the lights, so the story is set
a woman in peril, a woman in debt
A man with no soul, heart full of greed
leveraging rent, fulfilling his need
No pleas for the babes, no salve for their wounds
to service the dead, in overwrought rooms
God only produces, ever the muse
people and places, most overused
All of the actors, written on page
all of the stars, simply a stage
