We All Play but Tragic Heroes

We All Play but Tragic Heroes

A Poem by Jonny The Savage

It's like watching a horror movie,
This sad state of human affairs.
The damage is done but the cogs care not,
Too much to consume to pretend to care.

A dark Shakespearean Comedy,
We all play but tragic heroes.
Entranced by this facade, fully,
Acting as little more than ones and zeroes.

You have this truth to your words
Like you say like it is ...... no beautifying here

Yes inaction is the master of our none hero like scene
Zeros on a xerox machine
