The silent movie
The main character plays
He dares not take the bull
by its horns
He will flap his wings fly
away
In the village he may show
his skill
Conjuring his magic of
money in his bag
The tricks he can use to
get his way
With city folks he hides
in his castle
He says he stars in silent
movie
He can't read his script
in the open
He is afraid he might
forget his lines
So he stays in his castle
The dark clouds hanging
He doesn't see it in his
eyes
He lets his black knights
do the talking
Branding words of lies and
cheats
Each knight tries to score
his points
Each knight fails to
convince the city folks
In the rural villages they
can get fooled
But some have awaken to
find the truth
He needs script to chart
his course
He tries to memorise many
lines
Along the way he still
lacks confidence
He is afraid he might fall
on stage
The director waiting
The film rolling
The audience listening
The main actor keeps his
silence
