Plastic Opera Poem by Lisa West

Plastic Opera



It’s a plastic opera,
a mind dead samba.
Pretending to matter,
When it’s mind over matter,
a weak numerator with a black heart.
It’s all by the numbers,
a phony smile and then the big Rip Off,
all while praising their own goodness.
Empty, Hollow, a great big Nothing sucking up life.
