Spirit – the soul of a dead person
At the head of the grave
(Makes bird sounds, laughs after then, suddenly turn to people and listens to the ground)
– Wake up, you bastards! (beats the ground) How long are you going to sleep there?
(Searches around himself, approaches one of the graves)
– Drunk Nick, come out! You said, you weren’t going to sleep tonight.
– Remember how we made a fuss at work, when we drank a lot of water, and also got on the Internet. (Laughs)
– Drank our whole lives, and then we got here. (Points to a grave)
(Beats the ground)
– What are you doing over there? Do you drink there too? You told an angel yesterday that you were always against bottles, and the angels believed you, and you believed them, you fool. Not angels, but you are a fool! Well, sleep, then today is not your day.
(Rises, looks at other graves)
– And over there lies… I don’t know the rest of them well, so I won’t bother them. I don’t know why, but I’m the only one who woke up today. So, today is my day.
– Nick is sleeping, I don’t know about others. Who should I talk to today? With myself?
– I think I know, with whom… But first, one question.
– No one needed me when I was alive, and who might need me now?
– Since you’re all here, does that mean you need me?
– I can help you. Because I have something to say.
– I probably won’t have friends today, since everyone is sleeping, well, okay!
– I need you (indicates the audience of the performance), but of course you will still be bored listening to me, but I will not stop talking.
– Hey, Evil!
– Oh, Good!
– Hear me…
– Hey, Evil! I don’t need you. You’ve done me nothing but harm!
– Oh, Good! You are exactly the one I need… Let’s try to help people together!
– I have more experience, because, unlike living people, I know what will happen after you are no longer in this life.
– Don’t call me crazy, okay? Evil can bring you nothing but harm. It seems I already said that. Then you can call me a psycho. (laughs)
– Seriously, I have a conversation with both of you…
– Yes, Good!
– Yes, Evil!
– Do you agree?
– Not empty words, but true words. No matter how stupid it sounds, let’s try to solve the problem of humanity.
– But you must first find out who you really are. And to find out, you need to answer all the questions, WHY (loudly) did you become who you are now? You can already start… Probably.
– Most people have become livestock. Locked up in a barn. And some are forest animals. Lost. When I look at them, they look like zoo animals. (laughs)
– Tell me honestly, you really love us. Oh, Good? Many people doubt this.
– Nobody tells the truth… Why don’t people tell the truth without cover, selflessly? Because… a lot of people seem scared. Everyone seems scared!
– If no one tells the truth, then I will tell it, if the listener will listen, I will tell!
– Good and Evil listen to me carefully!
– There is no historical truth now. There is no fair way. Because people can’t tell black from white. Now there are many consciously poor people, but their bank cards are overflowing with money.
– People misunderstand religion, so there is no honest way now.
– To know the true story, you need to see it with your eyes, and not deceive students with useless dates and numbers.
– Destroyed the palace of the soul, decorated the palace of life. As the evil ones said, they will look for the morally weak. Well, is it interesting to listen to me? It is very difficult for you to tolerate the truth.
– I heard the poor child crying. Evil, is that you?
– Who is guilty? Evil, is that you?
– Evil, I don’t want to believe you. Because I hate to lie. Don’t believe Evil, everything he says.
– Yes, to be honest, fake prophets are everywhere, does this mean that people do not have their own brains? Or are they just oblivious that they have become parrots?
– People think that they are forced to listen to them… Tell me honestly, do you like being a parrot? (indicates the audience of the performance)
– Oh, Good! Is it right for them to be an echo, and become the opinions of other people’s voices?
– You know that you are sold for money, others are happy to buy you, and you also lie with pleasure. Okay, let’s change the subject, because that’s too much accusation.
– Yes, Evil, everyone is getting fat, what can I do? Do you want to kill everyone as soon as possible? Or do you get any benefit from it? Tell me Evil! Tell! I want to know everything! Answer all my questions!
– How is it that you never sleep? You work harder than Good, better than people, yes… you are generally well done. I can envy your passion.
– Good, people have become less active. They are interested in many types of junk food, which makes me sick of this invented variety of dishes, although… I no longer need food. But you are turning into fattened cattle.
– Oh, Good! Save them from a slow suicide, because people don’t know what they’re doing.
– Until they understand the value of health, time… What else? It will be too late.
– Yes, Evil, for some reason everyone does not have enough time, time becomes like a burning leaf. What was done over time or more correctly, what did you do with time?
– Yes, Good, don’t waste their time doing evil deeds, don’t waste their time on empty dreams, don’t waste their time in vain.
– Yes, Good, there are many who want power, there are many officials, but there is little justice, most of them are greedy!
– Evil! Why did you embellish power so much, does it bring so much pleasure? Warm, soft and pleasant stool. As if the country is easy to govern.
– I used to be unable to support one child and one wife, and I know one person who ran for president and ended up in the hospital the next day. (laughs)
– Yes, Good! People are now in love with pride, with their wealth, with the number of children and property, with their appearance, what is the reason?
– Evil! What pleasure you give them, that they all began to brag about everything they have, everything they do. What is the use of wealth? What’s the point of having kids if you can’t provide for them?
– Property, everything will turn to ashes! Everything will turn to ashes. Turn, you’ll see, turn. Now answer me a few questions.
– People are not responsive, and do not pay attention to each other. Why?
– The number of false people who look like friends, but in reality only need money, has increased, and for this purpose they use you. Why?
– There are many false promises, there are more officials and rulers, there are few honest and fair among them. Why?
– Good! People stop calling a friend to good deeds and are not ashamed of evil deeds. Why?
– A man listens only to his wife, does not listen to his parents, and childrens are closer to friends, than their fathers. Why?
– There are a lot of complaints about low incomes and a low standard of living. Why?
– Worldly problems have led to the forgetting of important values, and to act in accordance with the truth is a shameful act. Why?
