Quatrain of Acting - 1577 - Yorktown Disciple

Quatrain of Acting

Acting - a profoundly adolescent profession

Acting, a decidedly mawkish profession,
where garish men often attempt
to be performing
creatures,

Tis of the nature of children to imitate
another, (not grown men),
and be absorbed with their
features.

Orchestrating on a platform, the insecure
go to unload their inner selves
in an attempt to seek
meaning,

The world is not a stage; we are not God's
puppets decidedly transfixed as
if tickets are sold at the
screening.
