Is it possible?

Is it possible? Is it possible
Ladies and gentlemen
Excuse me if I present myself alone
I am the prologue:
Since the author still puts on stage
The ancient masks;
Partly he wants to resume the old customs,
And sends me to you again.
But not to tell you as before:
>>The tears we shed are false!
Do not be alarmed by the spasms and our torments!<<
No! No. Instead, the author tried
To paint not a tear of life.
He has as a maxim only that the artist is a man
And that he must write for men.
And he was inspired by the truth.
A nest of memories
Sang one day at the bottom of the soul,
And he wrote with real tears,
And the sobs beat time for him!
Therefore, you will see love
As human beings love each other;
You will see the sad fruits of hatred.
The spasms of pain,
Screams of rage, you will hear,
And unique laughter!
And you, rather than
Our poor straw huts,
Consider our souls,
Since we are men of flesh and bone,
And that of this orphan world
We breathe the air just like you!
I told you the concept...
Now listen to how it is unfolded.
Let's go. Start!
