Hell is painted Mortar Grey by ~arnorath:iconarnorath:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Humor > Open


Dust has filled the dank, stale air
The fake tree is shedding bark
The spinny-flats are groaning
And all the stage is dark
In time the hall will come alive
And the audience will take their place
But for now the sets are barren
And lifeless, without face

They say Hell is filled with fire
And demons with pitchforks long
The say that brimstone boils
At the Devil's hearty song
They'll tell you tales of sinners
And heretics, who tread
Against the path of righteousness
Their feet tied with chains of lead

But in their tales they'll oft forget
To mention, certain sure,
That even if you escape Hell
You'll be back next day for more
To where we poor souls work onward
Late into the night
To turn a dull grey universe
Into something new and bright

The underworld really ain't so bad
So why don't you come and see
The Hell that's painted mortar grey
Walked by such brave fools as we.

Since anyone who doesn't know me in the real world probably won't understand any of the references I\'ve made here, allow me to explain. i am a member of a clandestine and secretive society known to most as the Tech Crew. it is my sacred duty to construct and operate the set, lighting rig, sound setup and multimedia thingamajiggers for the drama productions put on by my school. whenever we repaint a set of panels (or flats) we give them a coat of mortar grey undercoat in preparation for the next layer of paint that's going to hit them. we often refer to our almighty ruler as the Devil.

comment or i forcibly recruit you.

hehe, thanks Hammer. for next year's tech shirt you should put down the word '@#$%!' as the name that's displayed on the back. but it could get confusing if you started responding to being called 'F**k', because every two minutes or so you'd think someone was trying to talk to you.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things.

nice. i'm glad you're a theatre kid too. theatre makes school more bearable. except for this year our school is putting on "high school musical". i'm really sad about it. my friends and i want to kill it.

oh sweet mother of Akhurst - sorry, tech slang there. i feel for you Mel, i really do. you should talk to my drama teachers - i'm sure they'd both be happy to help you rid the world of another production of that blight upon the theatre industry's reputation. <sigh>

yes, I die a little everyday just thinking about it. Auditions are coming up soon too. I have no idea what to sing, I'm a soprano. Any ideas?

if you have to sing something from High School Musical i can't help you - i purged the memories of that movie from my mind with fire. psychological fire. but if you can sing anything you want, i'd suggest 'somewhere over the rainbow'. classics are always best, and that one is both easy to learn and gives a good opportunity to demonstrate your full vocal range. good luck with your auditions.
