The Show Must Not Go On

Dark and mischievous clouds of deceit hang over the palace of the pharaoh's The people once again 'in their 'droves gather 'call out and speak what has been placed into their tired and abused souls . The uncaring potential rulers each wear a wry smile , Trying their best not to let utter contempt for the people shine through. The spectacle begins with music that is supposed to show these dark creatures in a shadow of in-common. Frantic Calls for hate and war too continue along with false hope are thrown out by these mesmerisers like bread to the hungry . Famished these people are for change and release from their bondage. The repeated re-shackling of themselves willingly 'by themselves has beaten them down into complete blind submission. Their faith in the old gods without any care of consequence was given up in exchange for gold long ago . pharaoh's from past and present have 'and continue to give their gleeful blessings at this evil and wicked truth . The stage is set and the people in total trance as these two demons begin to square up to one another 'repeatedly asking for their captives trust, whilst spitting reasons as why not trust the other . Through the window of the palace 'looking upon this deceitful showing Is pure evil 'awaiting the out come of Either way . As before and so shall be again the people will dutifully demand their freedom and rights taken away through fear and trickery 'He then shall step back in 'and make it as such . Under his Dictates 'The newly elected pharaoh shall continue to lead and command these people away from the light 'but yet ever further into the cold darkness of hopelessness and despair . It is now time to awake 'and walk away from that Demonic showing , for the good of all and that of 'freedom sake , And so mote it be .
