Last night I had a dream
The dream was set on a stage
And the stange was in theatre
The theatre was grand and proper
Lush tapestries hung on the walls
The seats were all of a plush red
Silk chords teathered
The waithing crowd
Wanting to see the play
The play of a thousand souls
The play of ten thousand smiles
The play of a million frowns
The crowd was ushered in
They took thier seats
The lights dimmed
The curtain was drawn
The stage lights rose
And there I was
Bound and naked
Broken and decived
Eyes swollen shut
From fists of rage
Blood free flowing from my nose
From the broken cartilage
Scratches and deep cuts
From nails and knives alike
Everyone in the crowd gasped
The one broke into laughter
And another is succession
Quickly like wildfire
Until everyone was in a roar
Then I fell over
And the laughing subsided
Until one person shed a tear
And that tear hit another
Causing her to cry
The entire theatre wept
The floor became very damp
Cleaners came in with mops and buckets
But they too cried when they saw me
The curtain fell
The crowd stopped
The crowd then left
And I remained,
Waiting for the next show
Only one thousand minus one left to do
