ILLUMINATIONS OF A MALADY CONTINUES

When the story is finished
The curtain falls
But some times the story goes on and on and on
And people are waiting for the curtain to come down
But the curtain is not there....
Its an invisible curtain
Its not falling
Even if it is...No one can see it
And no one dare leave ...
Because they don't think the play is over yet
The critic is really restless....
Oh! there is a critic there?
Yes...
How did he come?
He came....
They usually come to praise their own friends
He came to curse you
Why?
Because the curtain was not falling
And he had to go eat
Was he hungry?
He was starving
He wasn't starving for culture though
The culture was too long
The culture can be long
No nothing can be long
It has to be nice and short and sweet and amusing
The play was amusing
That's the reason the curtain was not falling
There was no curtain to fall
The story had ended
People should have left
People stayed
Its their fault
They should have left
We didn't force them to stay
They shouldn't even have come
We didn't force them to come
They came on their own
They didn't have to come
Some of us are lousy playwrights
Some of us are really lousy and long
Very long and Un-Ending lousy playwrights
All of us are not Angles of America
Some of us are the devils of the World
We write devilishly bad plays...
Yes we do.....
No one has to come see them
Neither critics nor people....
Who needs them
We don't need the free papers of America writing bad reviews about us
We already know that we are bad
We are bad playwrights....
I am a bad playwright
I call myself, "We."
Because I am a queen
Not the queen which is liked by the drama critics by the way
The queen who writes bad plays
Actually, "I' I mean, "We" don't know how to write a play
The play is always long
Always tedious
Always boring
Laborious
Political
No structure
No format
No plot
Too long
At least those are the announcements of the drama critics....
The experts..........
But we already know we are bad playwrights
The worst of the worst
We don't need the critic to tell us
We already know............
We don't need the critic
Nor the audience
Nor the curtain
Nor the falling of the curtain either
Our story is going to go on and on and on
You don't want to hear it
Don't come
Simple as all that...........
We don't want you
We don't need you
We don't care
Our story is long and tedious and laborious and boring and political
and its going to go on and on and on and on
Like American wars....................
