Spontaneous Actions



Apologizing for what has offended,
One's truth to live and publicly defend.
In the midst of those living to fiction,
Their lives to delude...
And fantasize with heightened,
Charading of accepted pretentiousness.
Is a commendable and daring move.
To choose it done to prove,
One's truth to live reality should be given...
Approval on a stage created and made,
Specifically to keep...
Profits nonstopping.
Without truth interfering,
With the continuous of this abundant flow.

Although...
Awakened many witnessing,
Have come to realize.
Truth to defend,
In the midst of those living fictioned lives.
Is a mistake to address,
Spontaneous actions in public to confess.
One's truth to reveal and stun,
Those sitting unprepared to witness it come.
And shocked into disbelief to see,
Their fantasized lives exposed to reality.

'I can not believe what I saw to see.
One of our beloved performers,
Attack another.
Without a sign to warn,
A reality unscripted...
Will the doing remembered,
More than the staging...
Of our televised pretentiousness.'

'You?
I am still left trying to understand,
How someone without being paid...
Would allow the truth,
To embarrass them in such a public way.
Since all of them are renowned public clowns.
And who knew just one,
Had the audacity to announce...
Their identity and dignity,
Is not to be used by a fool who chooses...
Not to know the difference.
Regardless who anticipates,
To be entertained by a comedian who finds...
A joke to tell will go over well,
Without approval to get from one insulted.'

'But...
He was a presenter.
And not the host of the event.'

'Exactly.
And this fact was known,
By the one offended.'

'And...
Who has been barred ten years,
From appearing at that event?'

'And...
Would you care if your truth,
Left you and your family...
Living reality to know it kept,
Away from a fiction others accept?'

'That depends.'

'On what?
Money paid to follow a script?
Or anyone near,
To call for action?'

'But...
That action performed was unnecessary.'

'Unnecessary?
Perhaps.
But whose truth had been offended?
Without being prepared for it!'
