The Musical

Location

 
In the opening number
 
We are as blind as a worm
 
Content with the womb
 
Born of the sperm
 
Contended by measures
 
Fatality hampered
 
We explore on bended knee(s)
 
Toward the first song we scamper
 
 
“I want” comes out
 
A want received
 
The main song of life
 
Sung by the minstrels of greed
 
Luxury is found
 
Your joy is renown
 
Your face lies at a safe distance
 
Amidst, yet above the ground
 
 
Amidst the Climax
 
A ballad is spun
 
Its given the tools
 
From which wisdom will come
 
It gave the chance
 
The chance is clout
 
What’s left is plain
 
The truth comes out
 
 
To skip ahead to our good reprise.
 
The saddened acts of our lustful eyes.
 
Their given power over our souls
 
Lest we take the actions to take control…
 
 
The Final Act
 
Finale’s here.
 
It has given a new and perceptive ear.
 
It’s given a wisdom attainable not
 
Lest god given wisdom was faithfully bought
 
In life…
 
In life complex,
 
Our final number is never next.
