The Temptation
youth is tempted to step
on the island of light
of fame
and it pays the price
of shedding off
its raw skin
the old corruption of the
furrowed flesh
laughs the hardest
those who died and
forgotten
all know
that at the center of the stage lights
there is nothing there
except some
hurtful shadows
air and sighs.
