Why I Create...

Why I Create...

A Poem by NightShade
"

This is the beginning of a show I'm working on and over 45 minutes, will be the grounding point of the overarching theme. It leads and follows the dozen or so pieces that I will perform.

"
You ask me why I create
Why I dissimulate
mutilate
mutate
the language and the mind
Cuz
we're living in this age of apostasy
hypocrisy
Ain't nobody wanna walk with me
or rock with me
let alone, sit down and talk with me
Rather live in the middle of doubt
Rather NEVER Know what I'm talking about-
-The Truth that is Untrue
but All-True:
That Nothing
is NO-thing
that we may comprehend
That
From Time, without beginning or end,
to Time
and from time to time,
which is the Ever-present NOW
--I am moved
to STILLNESS--
in AWE of your Terrible Beauty...

To be continued...
