A Global Theater
by Jeffrey Yorio
Death’s travesty,
isn’t in dying.
Is it in our boldness
of living life’s theater in regret?
False words said about the dead,
while on our side of the grave.
Opportunities missed;
A lovers kiss.
A laugh.
A setting sun.
A comforting shoulder.
Why do we keep secret
these joyous things?
Why is the coin more valuable than
the items it acquires?
Can you truly sell your soul?
Actors admit they’re people.
People deny they’re actors.
We did sell our soul
and we’re happy to be slaves
