This is the black script.
Once white.
Now, marred.
Marred by Ignorance
Who gave no thought to its integrity.

This is the horror script.
Once, a Dream.
Now, a nightmare.
Stolen by conceit and betrayal
Who gave no thought to characters’ importance.

This is the star-crossed script
As Rome fell,
So shall Athens.
Arrogance has run its course
And cursed all who think only of themselves.

For the world is but a stage
Upon which some have built pedestals
One for themselves
A few for others undeserving.

Oh, how the haughty shall fall,
The mighty have fallen,
And those who deserve shall rise.

As a proud citizen of the United States of America I maintain that if freedom dies here the world is lost for hundreds of years, P&P. They are taking our freedoms away from us on a daily basis. If this isn't what your well-written poem is about, it still needs to be said.

my acting teacher destroyed A Midsummer Night's Dream, lied to me about the auditions, and then told me he'd let me do tech.
