“Once upon a time Not so long ago -maybe even in our times- A boy with manners A little shy, too Turns eighteen And in a magical way HIS FATHER DIES. Well, chaos ensues from then on. Our noble young man, struck mercilessly by fate, has to mature overnight in order to cope with the harsh rules of the “grown-ups” world. In order to survive he has to call upon all his strengths, which of course he does not know of yet (because NO social system has ever considered seriously such a tragic possibility). Of course Fate will not just stand there waiting. She will slap him on the face, step upon him, make him crumble down without mercy, endlessly and ruthlessly until the Hero rises inside him. For when the Hero awakens –there will be BLOOD BLOOD This is his story We have all experienced it Some of us in a prettier others in a more cruel way Some of us were looking forward to it Others turned a blind eye to it None of us Managed to put it off for ever A few ended up with a permanent seal on their forehead: “lunatic” They could not kill the boy inside them: They did not have the time to put the fierce Hero back to sleep They rest full of the ongoing Battle Until they WAKE UP (for NO social system has ever considered seriously such a TRAGIC? Possibility) HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO BECOME A MAN?
