Break a leg everyone!
The show’s about to start!
The scripts have been rehearsed!
Everyone should know their part!
The curtains will disjoint
under the spotlight’s glare,
while the audience awaits
in the elevated chairs.
The performance was electric!
An Emmy worthy play!
They bought it line and sinker
much to their dismay.
You showed them conflict
and fed them fairy tales.
An epic distraction
for dramatic ticket sales.
The crowd will pick a side
and it will resonate,
cognitive dissonance
for us to captivate.
There is no left or right
in this theatrical brigade.
Self-serving is our mission.
We are one and the same.
And they will never know.
And will never ask us how.
Because the show is finally over
as we take our final bow.
