Storytelling
|
|
Picture a scene in your mind
|
Looks at all the people and take note of the setting behind
|
Listen, watch, and wait
|
A plot begins to take shape
|
There's a story
|
And then characters will come to you
|
Relating events as they choose to
|
But all their words and actions come entirely from you
|
|
If you're a storyteller you might htink you're without responsibility
|
And you can lead your characters anywhere you want
|
You have immunity
|
|
Have you considered the way
|
People might react to all the things that your characters say?
|
And are their actions hand in hand with what you want
|
to portay?
|
Are you sick?
|
Are you crippled? Insane?
|
Expressing the desires that daren't speak their name?
|
Are you the one to be blamed?
|
|
Now you're a storyteller you might think you are without responsability
|
But in directions, actions and words
|
Cause and effect
|
You need consistency
|
..
|
|
How can you finish the tale?
|
Lives which have played a part
|
Are summarised from the very start
|
And episodes left out to make it all go our way
|
'It's a might big world
|
Some of it I've seen
|
But mostly I've only heard
|
And stories are all fiction from their moment of birth'
|
|
You're just a storyteller
|
You're not trying to escape responsability
|
If we believe you then you're succesful
|
But you don't make claims of verity
|
|
You're just a storyteller
