    "The faces changed- Theater for the ages"

    The faces changed- Theater for the ages
    Disease tattooed itself to my skull, twisting
    in and out of eye sockets in order to blind
    us; with the iris's pre occupied, the map of
    direction is merely a piece of paper of little
    use; flowers in the chest cavities, being
    picked out for a showcase of hearty lovers
    the curtains draped past the feet, creating
    a red carpet to walk upon, yet, when 1000's
    walk on the glory of few, the carpets become
    dirty, whilst washed up actors clean the mess
    of their dreams, screams can be heard from
    corridors where leading ladies birthed babies.
    The wood binding the floor to a relationship
    with footsteps of the past still carries the
    burdens of children's laughter, yet now...
    the child like voices have turned deeper, and
    no more shall echo across an audience
    willing to forget about life for a few hours
    Pop corn still branded with teeth marks,
    as if dogs had ravished the color from
    life; and as coke stains vanish from throats
    in which sang the praises of dreamers,
    once smooth faces crack for times
    entertainment; lip stick disappears from
    mouths, and perfume forgets to drench
    the air in a fresh aroma; wrinkled skin
    continues to dance, yet to a slower tempo
    pitched perfectly for a frequent memory
    to beat in minds that live solely in years
    gone by; from a cast who brought such
    old time classics as "stage fright" and
    of course, "smiles to faces" now shall
    birth a new opening number, the show
    is called "parking lot" the audience will
    be seated in metal machines, and the box
    office man has been fired to be replaced
    by an automated ticket dispenser.

    man, this was a good read,
    seriously... i can relate... i think america is really turning into what you described children... not really maturing.. but trying to act mature.. by using drugs and violence, language, etc and how.. the world is becoming lazy... and is becoming machinerized.. at least this is how i interpeted the poem..
    the image was excellent, you detailed every line really well...
    your had a good choice of words like
    Disease tattooed itself to my skull, twisting
    in and out of eye sockets in order to blind
    us

    which was my favorite lines..
    overall an excellent piece.
    hit... soldier within plz.
