Life As a Play

Maybe it is the way I am And maybe it is the voice Deeply inside of me Warning me, instinctively That the vows of eternity Must not be mistaken… I do not wish to be squished Inside the dreams Of someone else, Secondarily real Like a role created By any playwright Who divides the fate Of each of his characters… Now it is your call- Speak your lines! Those interactions Are solely directed From the margins! On stage you are invisible, Nothing unnoticed happens, All movements are calculated, Purposely make-believe… I am a fool in the play, Foolishness just playing But the joke is partly that role Which do not apply to real fools And the jester knows the truth Far better than the king Who finds ridicule amusing!
