When the Show ends

When the show ends

And the credits roll

Will you be proud

With what was shown?

When the lights fade

And the bell tolls

What will be made

From what you’ve sown?

Will there be cheers

And applause?

Or will they jeer

And seethe

At what you’ve done?

But would it matter

What they think

Of you after

You’re dead?!
