Where Has Gaiety Gone? Poem by Sandra Feldman

"Let me entertain you"
On the darker side, today
Horror seems to be taking
Over,
In so many different
Ways,
As a form of entertainment
Quite popular
And so well liked,
Astonishing!
One might say.

Musicals are obsolete
True romance
Does not exist,
Only forms of twisted
Love affairs,
That seem more weird
Each day,
In politics, all dirty
Lies,
As politicians.
Fry the competition
In the oil of perdition
And Countrymen
Just want to run away,
From the 21st Century
Where Darkness seems
To write the Play.
