And the world before my eyes is a stage
We are actors performing everyday life
While wearing different masks and costumes
Tell-tales speak of an epic
Writers write a satire
Poets compose a sonnet
Violinists play a requiem
The director says: "Smile! Smile!
Say hello to the audience!"
And the actor forces a smile
Although he wants to cry
Poignant stories with complicated plot
Idiosyncratic characters with elaborated background
"Oh! Where's the bonfire?" Asks the director
"Without that, it won't be dramatic, will it?"
And there our mundane lives turn cathartic
Superfluous entertainment and disturbing violence
We lose ourselves in the heat of the moment
Not remembering who we are
Is there a truth hidden between these fictions?
Too many masks we have worn
Too many plays we have acted
And the person before my eyes is only a clown
