battle times(match 9000 of 1000000)

(filling the theatre all notable organisations all anxiously screaming that the curtains be raised.)
-lights dim.

Announcer announces
The match to continue
Gladiators filling Their posts
Frail children
From Ethiopia and Rwanda
Ref signals the match to resume
Bang bang
Shots fired
Crowd frightened
Then excited
Cheering
Bodies drop on both sides
Red grass fits the red sunset

Till night (the play ends)
When the curtain drops
Is death the whore
That fucked these children for life.

Directors
Screaming at the injured,battered and bruised
"your only fucking use is frontlined"
And as incentive
"Better fight like, the good fight
Or your brothers and sisters won't eat tonight"
