drama queens

in all life
microscopic & macroscpoic
there is drama.
life & death.
enven in the most-
suttle situations.
but is there ever
enough drama
to support all
the dram queens?

i've seen death...
from animals shot for food
to humans in nursing homes,
accident along the roadside
& hospitals.
are dirty dishes
worth all that bother?
is an hour late
that grave a sin?
what exactly merrits
a drama queen acting
upon a silver stage?

with children working
as indentured servants
aka slaves!
darfur - genicide...
in our life time!
a president out spending
the social security budget...
iraq & iran...
where will it stop?
when will is cease?
& how can we worry--
over tirvalties.
who does our drama queen save?

so, i'll try harder
but i m mere human,
as r we all...
will this afternoon's
dirty dishes or unswept floor
keep western civilization
from a crumble or fall?

where there is one
he's alone
where there is two
a pair
where there is three
conflict
but as adults
lets learn to be
fair.

so fill a glass
& toast a host
let's all get pissed
for the show is about to start
& the drama not to be missed!
