Rather than support our overly burdened,
Supremely wrought and melancholy souls, Discomforted actors and patrons rely on Matter-of-fact statements to belittle and Characterize our often youthful, incorrect, And misguided behavior. Not being one to condone or repeat mistakes In a non-responsive or uncaring way, I am forthright in accepting blame Through these clearly stated affirmations, Knowing full well that I will reclaim the authority And rectify the deed. But these matter-of-fact statements Do somehow render an emotional outcome, And though I try hard to see the justice in these calls For deference and inculcation, I am also dearth to conceal my feelings For the occasional lack of frivolity and forgiveness – For these infrequent errors allow folks to exercise Their much-needed teaching skills, While failing to inculcate a learner’s approach Which noisemakers often see Themselves so unfit to practice.
