We love ourselves too often and need reach out much more often. It is a social responsibility and it effects the environment also.
Write it in the style of Shakesphere from romeo and juliet mixing some of the most dramatic stuff and I will give you electric chocolate. O, thou temptress fair with “electric chocolate” in hand, I am thine willing quill! Let’s dive deep into madness and velvet-laced despair… Here begins the Tragedie of Desperada, in one fevered vision: ACT III, Scene I An oubliette beneath Verona. DESPERADA sits, her gown tattered, clutching a doll of clay. Faint torchlight flickers. A lark sings outside. She listens for footsteps. None come. DESPERADA: What devil mocks me in this hollow keep? Mine eyes did summon love, yet love came not. A Romeo, fashioned of dream and brimstone, With lips like sermons and hands of silk deceit— He cometh not! Nay—'tis but illusion’s child, A phantasm stitched from my own fever’d yarns. (She kneels, shaping clay.) By night I mold him, my gallant knight— Lo, his jaw carves as marble, proud and cold. His eyes? Twin moons—both waxing false. Yet still I name him mine. O foolish hand, Why doth thou craft what heart can ne’er command? (She hears a rustling. Freezes.) What footstep stirs? Could it be he—my flame? (beat) Nay… ‘tis a rat. A lowly beast come to gnaw my cheese, Unmoved by poetry or painted sighs. (Enter RAT, bold and bloated.) RAT (aside): She feeds on fancies; I feed on mold. Her banquet be words—I chew the old. DESPERADA (weeping): Art thou my Romeo in churlish form? Hast fate grown bored and mocked my prayer? RAT: I am no prince, nor cursed with charm. Yet truth I bring, where love brings harm. Yon fantasies dost stink of rot— Cheese and folly both ill-begot. (He nibbles deliberately.) DESPERADA: O Desperada! What tempest hath thee wrought? Am I the ghost or the dreamer still? Clay crumbles, kisses vanish, and I— I do remain… a song unsung in stone.
Late at night a single lark appeared To sing of all so strange and weird As if overcome by midnight roses Inside her mind each book closed To clearly expose another bird Then there came a third And they sang to her Desperada Rang in her ears With waves of cursive Waking something that was waiting It cried out in pain For the darling child Inside a cave A wall collapsing As if a memory released It's loud warning Of a bed of roses Each one softly wailing In the bitter sleep of a thousand dreams Oh desperada! What are you making with clay Passing your time each day Looking for love in all the wrong places And held in a paint brush Desperada She was too much.
