LAST CYCLE © 2008

Ignorance disguised as education,

Polite manners performed, without true intention.

Refined attitudes that deceive the eye,

The entourage passes, moved, without a sigh.

They think the moments staged are dignified,

Theatrical acts, in fabricated gestures implied.

The stage echoes with applause of pretense,

While the truth hides, in a mournful silence.
