Act

Lingering within,
Temptations appease,
Like listening to wind.
 
Believing in lies,
Wearing masks appeals,
Like cheering performance.
 
Fame and fortune sought,
To become gambled,
Like rolling snake eyes.
 
Dancing with statues,
Hewn grey built handshakes,
Like a graven loss.
 
Earthen accolades,
Monumental show
Like echoing chambers.
 
The funeral dirge,
Hearse and casket,
Like roses to play.
 
The curtain fallen,
Impromptu intent,
Like empty motive.
 
Satan's influence,
Hidden from logic,
Like broadcasting sense.
 
Outside time and space,
Rhythmic transit
Like evident chance.
 
Waiting for the signs,
Dishonest vainglory
Like wicked summon.
 
No one understood,
As demons ransacked
Like thieves plundering.
 
Imposing has struck,
Upon deathly pause,
Like a thought pondered.
 
Flashing from the sky,
Heavens colliding,
Like temperate change.
 
Atmosphere darkens,
Thunders sound closer,
Like loud ambience.
 
The return of Christ,
Righteous kingdom comes,
Like truthful judgment
 
Yahweh Elohim,
Tree of Life pursued,
Like prophecy speaks.

Just a casual poem with 5 syllables per line, 3 lines, 16 stanzas.  It's meant to capture what a hypocrite (Greek word for "actor") really is, and how/why they do what they do to capture attention.
