You are the Devil as much as you are God!
The scene is simple. A dark room. Nothing more, nothing less. Pure darkness. We hear a door creak before footsteps are heard. It is quiet. Quiet enough to hear a feather hit the floor. We then hear the footsteps stop, and a voice takes over.
“Open your eyes.”
The sound of a match being lit is heard as we see a single flame light up the bearded face of David Manson. A smile is spread across his face as his eyes are wide open.
David Manson:”The world has seen it. The world has felt it children. Smoke was yet another child that was Awakened. He too was blind like Willy. He too could not see the truth in front of him. But now, now he can see the truth! He understands our purpose and why we are here. He is AWAKENED!”
Manson chuckles before putting the match to a candle, lighting it up and revealing his body.
David Manson:”One cigarette is all it takes to show the world our meaning. That single cigarette has shown time and again what the Awakening is all about. We want to save all of you children. We want to show you all the truth. But nobody wants to hear it. The Awakening is not trying to cause a war, we just want you children to open your eyes and realize what is happening.”
Manson pushes the hair out of his face before continuing.
David Manson:”Marcus X is the next one children. Marcus X is blind. He cannot see what is right in front of his face. He does not understand what is staring him back in the face! But make no mistake about it children, at AfterBURN, he will be awakened! You see, Marcus is a man who talks a lot about race. He is in a war with this Ku Klux Klan group and he is losing. Marcus, you need to focus up child. At AfterBURN you are not stepping into the ring against the KKK, you are stepping into the ring with the Awakening!”
Manson stares into the flame. His eyes going into a trance.
David Manson:”And if you don’t step back and realize what you are getting yourself into, you might just get burned just like Smoke.”
Manson laughs as the flame flickers, nearly going out.
David Manson:”Marcus, you are like every man before you. You scream racist and blame the white man for what they have done, but it is you who is the Devil. Look down at me and you see a fool, look up at me and you see a god, but look straight at me and you see yourself. Remember that Marcus and when you step out in that arena and you preach about your Black Movement you got to realize, you are the Devil as much as you are God!”
Manson begins to slowly laugh, maniacally, before blowing out the candle suddenly, tossing the scene into complete and utter darkness.
