Mother Nest Egg

Theatrical performances miscued and obscured
Athwart from the others, one stands alone
Fragmentations of an embered past
Recollection triggered by hapless squalls

Dignified men in attendance this forenight
Outspoke only by whispered engagements
Their trophies, well-dressed and made up
similarly accentuate the third party egos

Fate perhaps perpetuated the first domino
But it was the people's player that toppled
Collisions, Derisions, Decisions, and Hope
Kept what was dead alive for Him

Gothic temptations cloud the minds of developers
While the Player rests for his next performance
