Pierced by the Fang

Indecency, exposure.
We are reserved in our progenitor’s “artistic” enclosure.
Disturbing the peace.
Creative minds, looking for a release.
Every performance ending with a bang
Trying to stand out, but there is no best Fang.

We now present the Family Fang,
Constantly seeking inventive exposure.
The children, always looking for ways to escape their parental enclosure.
Wanting to leave the public alone, at peace.
Personalities disclosed, not wanting to release.
Hoping their next performance won’t end with a literal bang.

Sounds from the crowd, none sounding like a bang.
Rather applause for the Family Fang.
The parents have finally achieved their wanted exposure.
No longer encased in their private enclosure.
The world will never again be at peace
Now that the Fang’s have found their “artistic” release.
