All the world is a stage, one said,
and people merely players -
the-co-writers of the script,
who suddenly enter and suddenly leave.
But why?... Such an odd theatre is the world, in which actors are also spectators.
There's no casting.
They choose roles themselves,
but cannot tell apart
masks from faces...
Hidden behind a disguise,
the stupid pretend to be wise.
Cowards play brave men.
Scoundrels play angels.
Who's a hero? Who's a villain?
Juggling with empty words,
mediocrity governs the world.
The tyranny of idiocy
in a mask of democracy
rules the human race!
Stop deluding yourself!
Take off masks, have a face.
It's your life not a play ...
