Drama

Curtains lift
And there plays a melancholic melody

Gradually,
A beam of light scatters into the dim stage,
A glimmer of blue ray focuses on a deathbed

Misery howls and embraces 
The image on the deathbed

Kin console misery
They say “Life is a theatre, 
Once we play our role, we have to exit.”

Meanwhile, among the audience
A philosophical vibe generates
"This is the truth of life."

Suddenly,
Violent sky outbursts a thunderbolt 
On the spot dies a grieved audience

On spur of moment
Stands the image from deathbed
And rushes out of theatre!

All the audience and artists
Start trembling out of fear

Right on time,
Somewhere far beyond in the backstage, there's round of applause
Somewhere far beyond in the backstage, the curtains get drawn!
