Enters man in a suit Welcome everyone! The stage manager is a little, tied up at the moment, so I'll be giving your stage instructions for this evening's presentation. Please turn off your mobile devices, this does not mean put them on vibrate so I'm forced to hear various perverts' pants buzzing around all night; and that isn't code for it is okay to text message during this presentation because that clicking is a vial pestilence to my theater! If you are ignorant enough to wear a Bluetooth type device, please disable it or remove it, because we can all see that ridiculously bright blue light that informs everyone in a 50 meter radius of your impending brain cancer. Not that I have a problem with your fate, I just don't want to be bothered by it. Ok, what else, ah, the exits in case of an

Ok, what else, ah, the exits in case of an emergency. The exits are located under the large glowing signs that say "exit.' They look like doors and are usually found on the walls. If you cannot find an emergency exit, please do not panic, that is just a demonstration of natural selection punching the time clock. Oh, and speaking of punching the time clock...

Such evidence includes getting drunk, pretending to Be a pirate a sea food restaurant and asking a waitress If she has seen the bearded clam. His attorney is motioning That his client simply didn't know any better, obvious by his actions, And that he should be excused based on a technicality.

The musician opts to tell the truth instead. His attorney is furious. The court is moved by his honesty & agrees to allow the boy to have one witness on the stipulation that the witness must be someone he knew that is already dead AND the person must be willing to testify and jeopardize their reputation. The only person willing to testify is someone already in the devil's custody a homeless drug addict who died on the streets of AIDS.

Enter Trevon
01 Manifesto

Trevon performs his testimony in hip hop format and chastises the "good" people for stepping over him on the street while the person 'You' say is bad, is the only person who helped him. Trevon explains "One day, that man on the stand bought me a sandwich when I didn't even ask.. He bummed me a cigarette and sat ,And listened to me rap About shit from my past. He saw that my feet were wet while it was cold and they were steaming, so he took off his socks and for a moment it felt like my life had meaning, like I was worth something even though I wasn't, and what the fuck could I give him as

He saw that my feet were wet while it was cold and they were steaming, so he took off his socks and for a moment it felt like my life had meaning, like I was worth something even though I wasn't, and what the fuck could I give him as repayment? Shake his hand and told him thanks, meanwhile these other assholes look at my life like a joke, a prank, well the pranks on you, cause if you're there, I'd rather not spend seven minutes in heaven I'd rather spend forever in hell, consider it a blessing.
