The question that I ask.
"To reveal, the future of temptations needs
as the phantom of the opera
to stalk and pray, hide the truth
hold up your fantasies, unto the light
and they just be like sculptured wax
or Paper Mache
waiting in the theatre wings, where our ego fashion's us
As Janus held the mask to hide excess
tread faltering steps along the precipice, not here
but silent screams from the valley deep beneath
to hold the spotlights brilliant arc
a thespian as Dionysus was
Spread the greasepaint of tragedies last laugh
Be the clown that wears a single tear
the choice, a poet never fears"
