Stage

The lights have been lit

The carpets have been spread

The curtains red stand as a background

Until the opening of the stage



Now shall the lights turn dark

The curtains will part into two

For the opening of the stage will be soon



But before, a man speaks for now

Explaining all the why’s

Telling all his desires

For ending his life as a vow



Until the stage opens

You shall not speak

For it is time that I be speaking and you be hearing.
