I Would. You Could. We Should. But They Didn't. [English]

The Crestfallen Playwright

The Grand

      Act that got everybody buzzing.

Entrance hall

      Brim-filled with estranged strangers fleeting,

Was wide enough,

      What a marvelous sight to behold

That his heart was moved

      Like the ignorance has come untold.

Overwhelmed with pure joy

    Everybody wore their hearts on sleeves      

Like that one innocent child

    Who loves playing and laughing with thieves      

So he started crafting his own,

    Joining the soldiers and the 'mongers      

He then penned the loom of what was known

    Fitted and accepted from others      

To him. So that he would, could, should begin

      Trying because why should he not, e?

But it all comes to a but no matter what

      Scolded for "You are not here to play"

For this lad was all but the bravest of heart

      Nodding his little head, out of fright

Reality started taking its toll

      When the crowd crowed with cunning delight

Hidden pendulum of the unknown

    Oscillated back and forth to him      

Ripping his bliss of ignorance

    As the said show went out of the frame      

Alas, a great night indeed

    Exposed, not a single thing to hide      

All was pointless for he,

    The naive neophyte without a guide,      

Knew that in the end

      Matter-not they would keep on cheatin'

It was just that

      He was jolly, all smile so pristine.

Wistfully

      Wishing he will make it through midnight

Maybe

      But only when his cards are played right.
