Actor and Director

No need to put on a show,
No, don't present another drama.
Your screenplay is marvelous,
I must say!
And your direction too good.
The actors, they seemed real.
Though, I am the only to know.
That they are actors.
All hired!
And all acting in fear of being fired.

And still you claim!
That you are free from blame.
Oh! Shame on you man!
All these years
I thought you were,
What you really
Showed yourself to be.

Your charismatic smile,
Won many curious hearts.
Your inspiring speech,
Made people inspire.
What you didn't have ,
Was not worth having.
What you didn't know ,
Was not worth knowing.
And like hundreds of other people,
I was on a spell!
Cast over by you!
Hypnotized, lacking my own mind.
I turned myself to a shadow.
Making you, my image!
The glistening sun you were.
I became its rays.
And I used to say,
I would be the one like you.

But how was that possible?
The shadow I was.
And you wanted me,
To remain that way!
Clearing your path!
Smoothing the obstacles.
Writing out the speeches,
That you read aloud.
In that exciting voice.
Sleeplessly I worked!
Up and down going over,
The long stairs of establishment.

The whole society is blind.
I just wish it was deaf,
Completely deaf.
It is a curse that,
They hear the loudest tone.
They like the charismatic voice,
And makes it wear the crown of leadership.
Then, you were right,
In whatever you said!
You were right,
In whatever you did!
Then, your hands began to touch,
Where they never should.
I couldn't tolerate.

It was the day!
I decided to be free from your spell.
The day I decided to be
My own image,
The day, I decided to end your hold.
Yes, it wasn't easy!
But I did it!
And struck you!
I struck you!
Hard and harder!
In the head of petty thoughts!
In that hand of illegal trespass.

Though the story was mine,
Unfortunately, screenplay was yours.
Actors were hired.
And you were hero once more.
I became the villain.
Now, shut away behind the bars.
I have no regrets.
I am as peaceful as ocean!
As clear as the blue sky!

Now again!
You are staging another drama.
But beware!
I now have a confidence to be a director!
And you! You!
Wretched you!
You will be a mere actor.
Just an actor.
