We really all are

in theater of life,

this absurd paradoxical world,

where sanity, insanity clash,

wondering which is which

and perhaps no different,

two sides, same coin,

with millions of facets

that make everyone unique

yet still the same,

born from Earth's DNA

plus common genetic ancestry,

the 'originals', without audience,

until creating it themselves,

then the storytelling began,

imagination running wild inside

needed expression, authentic transmission,

through early communicating grunts,

drumming, drawing, ritual enactment,

our 'two legged' development

exploring, discovering, expanding mind,

territory of interconnected reality

still perceived individually different,

which gave conflict rise,

who comprehends 'the Truth'

about our diverse existence,

whether miracle or chaos

containing meaning or not,

show still goes on

as every performer knows.
