Try as you do - OpenTank O (O) ((O))

Try as you
Do, I will
Always
Approve when
The lights
Dim down,
Your stage
Being set
By the same
Daily moves
Of some of
The greatest
Manip-ulators,
Beggars and
Drunks.
Steal this
Scene, or
You'll go
Hungry; hock
It for something
More worthy
And kind --
You'll remain
In my mind
As the last
Curtain falls
So much more
Than a character,
Little less
Than yourself.
