Josh M. The StageWhen the players are in place
When the stage is set
When the lights turn on
The scene begins
A crowd bursts into laughter
A man walks to his house
A car drives down a road
A hotel room is reunited with a common occupant
Four triggers are pulled
Four men fall over
Four widows cry out in horror
Four tragedies are declared
An emancipator
An entertainer
A born leader
An activist peacemaker
As each is mourned
We must remember
All the world’s a stage
And we are just the players.
