I just wrote this...
Don’t listen to what the actors say
They know not of worth and love
For they are well-versed in heroics
And they play the parts enough
So by knowing and yet not doing
They become their own judge
But what now will we do
Holding sacred worth and love?
Don’t listen to what the crowds say
They will trample worth and love
They have given away their minds
To whim and zeal and hum
So they cry for long-lost truth
As they ignore what’s now begun
In forsaking sacred conscience
Can we arrive at worth and love?
You need not care about celebrities
Or fix onto the crowd that you might please
Don’t live for the party or the magazine
Even status a thing a thief can seize
And the crowd will eat you in its time
The screen’ll burn out your dazzled eyes
Than what shall be said of worth and love?
Shed, yes, but not as sacred blood?
