The Playwright sits alone on the theater bench <br /> And the rehearsal goes on. <br /> The King is a born pauper in his real life. <br /> And the Queen comes from a slum. <br /> Joker smiles in his role seems first time in his lifetime. <br /> The Villain is an innocent who never harms even to the ants. <br /> The music director excuses for the delay as his wife delivers her first child. <br /> And the playwright worries by seeing his empty wallet. <br /> He is not in a position to pay an advance to the drama team. <br /> And the rehearsal goes on while the music covers the laments. <br /> <br />* I dedicate this poem to the poetess Lee.Degnan<br /><br />nimal dunuhinga<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/laughter-and-cries-in-the-playhouse/
