Vile Base Comedy

To dig deeper
Only to reject it? 

Seems supremely absurd

But that is just how animated beings are

Pursuing only to refuse

This form of vile base comedy

Is the force that feeds them all

Leading them towards tragedy

Heeding no ones call.

Everyone plays his part
The stage is suitably set
The dismal display of their art

Their little curiosity met.

These thoughts strung together
These fetal stances posed
Lay bare before the Mother
Dead composed.
